Bimbo Bakeries USA is going to build a 300,000-square-foot, $75 million bakery facility in Rockwall that will bring 130 new jobs to the city, the Rockwall Economic Development Corp. announced.
The Rockwall facility will be in the Rockwall Technology Park between Discovery Boulevard, Data Drive and Springer Road in Phase II of the park. The site is just south of Interstate 30 in Rockwall.
Groupo Bimbo, Bimbo Bakeries USA parent company, bought Fort Worth-based Mrs. Baird's Bakeries in 1998 and the combined operations were renamed Bimbo Bakeries USA. Bimbo operates a large baking plant in south Fort Worth off Interstate 35W.
“This is an amazing accomplishment for Rockwall,” said Sheri Franza, president and CEO of the Rockwall Economic Development Corp. “Rockwall is actively recruiting projects of this caliber, and we are especially proud of this deal”.
