12/19/2024
Chick-fil-A Supply, a wholly owned subsidiary of Chick-fil-A Inc., plans to establish distribution operations in Elsmere, Kentucky. The $100 million project is expected to create 178 jobs over five years in Kenton County.

The more-than-270,000-square-foot facility will be located on over 28 acres and support approximately 150 Chick-fil-A restaurants in the region. Operations are scheduled to begin in 2026.

“Elsmere not only provides access to quality talent, but its unique location will also allow us to receive product by rail; the third distribution center in our network to do so,” said Josh Grote, executive director of Chick-fil-A Supply. “We’re grateful to the Elsmere community and Commonwealth of Kentucky for the warm welcome and look forward to serving Chick-fil-A restaurants in the area.”

Chick-fil-A Supply serves as a distribution service provider supporting Chick-fil-A restaurants. The company currently operates nine distribution centers located in; Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Missouri, Ohio, Kansas and Texas.

“Once again, an industry-leading company is making a major investment in our commonwealth and our incredible workforce,” noted Governor Andy Beshear. “This investment by Chick-fil-A Supply in Northern Kentucky will provide incredible job opportunities for families across the region, and I am looking forward to their future success here in their new Kentucky home.”

“We are excited that this Chick-fil-A Supply location will provide Chick-fil-A restaurants throughout the Midwest with the high-quality food enjoyed by their customers and extends the Chick-fil-A culture of care in Northern Kentucky,” added BE NKY Growth Partnership CEO Lee Crume.
