Governor Rick Scott attended the ribbon cutting of Cheney Brothers Inc.’s fifth Florida facility, a new food distribution center in Punta Gorda. The new facility will create 380 new jobs for families in Charlotte County. Cheney Brothers Inc. currently employs more than 2,000 Floridians statewide.
Governor Scott said, “Last year, I attended the ground breaking for this new distribution center, and I am proud to join the Cheney Brothers team today to officially open their newest facility. Cheney Brothers Inc. has already created more than 2,000 jobs for Floridians, and the creation of 380 new jobs in Punta Gorda is great news. We will keep working to support Florida companies like Cheney Brothers Inc. so our state can be first in the nation for job creation.”
