After purchasing a 266,000 square-foot facility in Valley, Alabama, the firm will initially invest $70m at the site and create 210 jobs in the first stage of a three-phase program.
The latter stages of the project will see the company add another 300 workers, with production capacity expected to increase to 100m pounds annually.
John Soules Foods’ third plant is located in Gainesville, Georgia.
“Our addition of the Alabama plant will expand our growth capabilities as well as add cross functionality between all of our facilities,” said joint chief executive John Soules, Jr.
