US Foods breaks ground on expanded F. Christiana facility
The state-of-the-art expansion will nearly triple the size of the current facility.
US Foods Holding Corp., Rosemont, Ill., broke ground on the expansion of the company’s F. Christiana facility in Marrero, La. The investment, which was first announced in May 2018, will nearly triple the size of the current facility to support the company’s continued growth in Louisiana, parts of Mississippi and Alabama. The expansion will increase the facility size from 70,000 square feet to 200,000 square feet, and is expected to be fully operational by late 2020.
“This is an important day for US Foods, as we take the next step to expand our footprint in Louisiana and reaffirm our commitment to our customers and the community,” says Keith Knight, south region president. “We would like to thank Louisiana Economic Development, Jefferson Parish and JEDCO for their ongoing support through the many phases of this important investment.”
