A Trader Joe’s distribution and food assembly center is being built outside of Franklin, bringing over 800 jobs to Simpson County.
Crews broke ground on the 1 million square feet project last week. The project is anticipated to have three buildings dedicated to the assembly and distribution of the Massachusetts-based grocery store’s ready-made food items.
Simpson County Judge Executive Mason Barnes said this will be their Mid-America Hub as a distribution and an assembly food prep center.
Barnes hopes that through the area’s development, small businesses will be given more opportunities to grow.
The assembly and distribution center is on track to finish construction and begin production by this fall.
