The new 150,000 square-foot facility is located on the Venture Park industrial site in Lawrence, Kansas, and is expected to be operational late next year. In 2019, Pretzels, which is backed by private-equity firm Peak Rock Capital, also invested in another plant in Plymouth, Indiana with a 120,000 square-foot extension.
