US Foods on Thursday celebrated the opening of its expanded Memphis distribution facility, a project nearly two years in the making.
US Foods more than doubled the size of its local distribution operation to about 385,000 square feet. The facility is located at 5900 E. Holmes Road in Southeast Memphis.
The company has added more than 150 workers with the expansion, more than the hiring projections the company laid out when it announced the $30.8 million project.
US Foods now employs 375 workers in Memphis. When it announced its intention to purchase and expand its Memphis distribution facility in early 2011, it employed 220 people and planned to add about 60 jobs.
