Freshly Opens West Coast Facility in City of Commerce, California
10/20/2020
The 111,260 square foot USDA-approved facility will begin operating in December and increase the Company's meal production capacity by 20%. With dedicated refrigeration, freezer and assembly areas, it will allow Freshly to prepare and assemble products with greater ease and efficiency. The second phase of operations, which will begin in March 2021, is projected to increase order fulfillment capacity by 22%.
According to company officials “as the demand for Freshly's fresh, chef-cooked, meals continues to surge, the expansion will significantly increase the company's order fulfillment and production capacity and bring over 130 new jobs to the local economy.”
"In 2020, Freshly hit a huge milestone delivering over one million meals weekly and opening our first facility on the West Coast will help power our continued growth," said Mike Wystrach, Freshly's Founder and CEO. "As more people look to balance convenience and nutrition with their meals and shift to ordering food online, this Los Angeles facility will help us continue to scale and meet growing consumer demand."
"The new LA facility gives Freshly the opportunity to expand both its manufacturing capacity and menu variety. In addition to bringing new jobs to the local area, the strategic geographic location of the facility will allow Freshly to reduce the Order-to-Delivery cycle time to our West Coast customer base," added Richard Stoecklein, Freshly's Senior Vice President of Operations.
Freshly also operates facilities in Linden, New Jersey; Savage, Maryland; and Phoenix, Arizona. This new Los Angeles facility is currently hiring for job opportunities across operations; human resources, meal distribution and maintenance roles.
