When you make a $52 million investment, you mean business. This is the case for Nestlé-owned Freshly, which recently announced it is more than doubling its planned workforce by opening a new distribution center in Georgia. The new facility will create 665 jobs in the state and accelerate Freshly’s expansion strategies.
“Over the past year, Freshly has experienced substantial growth as consumer demand continues to grow for convenient and nutritious meal options,” said Mike Wystrach, Freshly Founder and CEO. “We’re thrilled to expand Freshly’s footprint and operations in Georgia. Tapping into Clayton County’s tremendous pool of talent, this second facility will allow us to increase capacity for efficient assembly and distribution of our chef-prepared meals.”
This announcement comes quickly after Freshly’s announcement of opening its first Southeastern U.S. distribution facility in Cobb County in early 2021. Freshly’s additional Georgia distribution facility will help the company continue to meet increasing customer demand, a press release explained.
Freshly plans to begin hiring at the new 289,000-square-foot facility in 2022 for positions in warehousing, operations, and maintenance.
