G&J Pepsi-Cola Bottlers Inc., a producer and bottler for the Pepsi franchise, plans to expand its operations in Columbus, Ohio. The $24 million project is expected to create 44 jobs.

The investment will include an additional 77,000 square feet at the company’s existing warehouse, new machinery and equipment, and a modernization and expansion of office space. The expansion is scheduled for completion by the end of 2025.

“Our commitment to Columbus has been resolute,” said Tim Trant, CEO with G&J Pepsi-Cola Bottlers. “We care about this community and look forward to creating more opportunities for the hardworking people who call Columbus home.”
