F. Hunt Enterprise, a distributor of one of the nation’s largest made-to-order pizza brands in convenience stores, plans to build distribution space in Clarendon County, South Carolina. The $1 million investment is expected to create 15 jobs.

The company recently purchased five acres in the Clarendon County Industrial Park. Groundbreaking for the property is expected sometime during the summer of 2021, and operations are anticipated to kick off by the fourth quarter of this year. The refrigerated space will be used to house products for Hunt Brothers Pizza, which will be distributed daily to convenience stores across the east coast.

“We have called Manning, South Carolina and Clarendon County our home for close to 15 years, and we look forward to many more in our new facility,” says F. Hunt Enterprise President Frank Hunt.

The Central SC Alliance, which assists Clarendon County in its outreach efforts to attract and expand industries locally, sees this latest addition to the park as an example of the county’s global competitiveness.

“Clarendon County and the Clarendon County Industrial Park offer a business environment that’s highly competitive for both new and expanding companies,” explains Central SC Alliance Chairman W. Keller Kissam. “Businesses that choose to operate here find the development support they need to grow and skilled worker accessibility needed to flourish.”
