Billy Morris, president and CEO of the company, said that the Hastings plant will allow Bubba Foods to meet the demand for its Bubba Burger products in the Midwest and West Coast. The company is spending $11 million on the acquisition and renovations of the plant, and it is also working on a $7.7 million expansion on its plant in Elberton, Ga.
"We are excited about the opportunity to continue to expand our production capacity with the addition of the Hastings plant," said chief operating officer Steve Coon. "It is a well-positioned location for production of the Bubba Burger with its proximity to raw material suppliers and a great pool of employees with a high level of meat processing experience."
