MANCHESTER, Tenn. – Great Lakes Cheese is opening its first plant in the southeast in Manchester.
The Hiram, Ohio-based company said it plans to invest $100 million in the 330,000-square-foot facility and create more than 200 jobs.
The cheese manufacturing and packaging plant will become the company's ninth. The others are located in Utah, Wisconsin and New York.

Hiring is expected to begin in the fall of next year and reach 200 by 2019.
