CHESTERFIELD, VA
Sabra Dipping Company’s newly expanded Chesterfield County, VA hummus production facility is off to a running start. The company expects its silver LEED certified 118,000 sq. ft. facility to double production capacity and add an additional 70 jobs to the location by next year.
“This expansion now allows the Sabra facility to eventually produce 8,000 tons of quality, delicious, kitchen-fresh hummus each month,” said CEO Shali Shalit-Shoval. “This expansion not only furthers our ability to produce higher quantities of hummus but allows us to create an optimal environment for the Sabra family…our employees in Chesterfield County.”
The expanded facilities include additional state-of-the-art office spaces and meeting rooms, as well as employee-focused amenities including an inviting cafeteria, an outdoor patio with benches and picnic tables, a full company store, and a fresh coffee shop with dedicated on-site Barista, according to a press release.
Shalit-Shoval noted that the hummus category “continues to grow at a double digit rate each year,” and that the company is proud to “lead the category with more than 65% market share.”
This is the facility’s 3rd expansion since its opening in 2010. “We are proud that the country’s favorite hummus is made in Chesterfield County,” said Dorothy Jaeckle, Bermuda District Supervisor, Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors. “Sabra also continues to be a wonderful corporate citizen, prioritizing employee satisfaction, nurturing the environment and giving back to the local agricultural community, having recently donated $25,000 of proceeds from its DC pop-up restaurant Hummus House to FFA in Virginia.”
Congratulations on the expansion, Sabra!
