After starting in west Marin County two decades ago, Straus Family Creamery is planning an expansion move to Santa Rosa.

Straus signed a letter of intent to lease 87,000 square feet of existing space in a south Santa Rosa industrial complex. Lease discussions are continuing. The new location would consolidate the Marshall creamery operations and Petaluma storage, distribution and administrative functions under one roof, according to founder and CEO Albert Straus.

He wants “to be able to make a facility that is as environmentally sensitive and zero-impact as possible as well as being able to have a facility that is a showpiece for consumers to be able to understand where the products come from and how it’s made and to have an opportunity to look at the process and the byproducts at the end.”
