Having been involved in the design and construction of food facilities for three decades, I have found there is one constant in the food industry: Successful food companies continually expand and grow their businesses. As a result, they also expand their facility footprints.
As food facility owners grow their operations, they are faced with the need to identify and purchase real estate. Whether a food facility operator is searching for a greenfield site or an existing building, the process for identifying, analyzing and ultimately selecting property is complex, and if not conducted correctly, comes with a high possibility of negative long-term impacts.
