Daily’s Premium Meats Expands St. Joseph, Missouri, Production Operations

05/15/2025
Daily’s Premium Meats, a provider of smoked and processed meats, plans to expand its operation in St. Joseph, Missouri. The $95 million project is expected to create 115 jobs.

The investment will include the construction of a production bay at the company’s existing facility which will provide greater smokehouse, food service, and retail capacity in addition to new press technology.

"Daily’s is proud to be part of the St. Joseph community and this expansion will not only enhance our production capabilities for premium bacon products but also bring valuable job opportunities, driving the economic growth of St. Joseph," said Joe Richmond, General Manager of Daily’s Premium Meats. "We are immensely grateful to the State of Missouri, Buchanan County, the St. Joseph Chamber of Commerce, and the St. Joseph community for their support in our plant expansion. We are excited to continue making a positive and lasting impact on the community."

To support the project Daily’s will benefit from the Missouri Works program, a tool that helps companies expand and retain workers by providing access to capital through withholdings or tax credits for job creation. The company may receive assistance from Missouri One Start, a division of the Department of Economic Development. Missouri One Start assists eligible businesses with their recruitment and training needs.

“DED is proud to partner with Daily’s Premium Meats as it expands, invests, and creates jobs,” noted Michelle Hataway, Director of the Department of Economic Development. “This expansion clearly reflects the company’s decision to support the prosperity of Missourians in the St. Joseph community.”

Daily's Premium Meats offers a full line of hickory smoked hams, sausage links and patties, and other value-added pork product “The Chamber is proud to have helped facilitate the expansion of Daily’s Premium Meats in the St. Joseph community by working with government agencies and community partners who believe in the economic development of our city,” added Natalie Hawn, President and CEO of the St. Joseph Chamber of Commerce. “The addition of 115 jobs and state-of-the-art production space will only continue to strengthen St. Joseph’s economy.”
