J.J. McDonnell Expands At New Elkridge Location

J.J. McDonnell & Co., a Maryland distributor of seafood, is moving to a new and bigger plant in Elkridge this month, more than doubling its footprint as it plans for growth.

The 62,000-square-foot facility at 7010 Brookdale Drive in Elkridge, Maryland will allow the firm to add new products and increase its processing and "value-added" goods, such as marinated fish, said J.J. McDonnell owner George McManus.

The firm was renting about 25,000 square feet in the seafood market at the Maryland Food Center in Jessup, its base for more than 30 years. But the location couldn't keep up with changing safety and cleanliness standards, McManus said.
