Fresh Roasted Coffee Expands Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, Operations

11/15/2021
Fresh Roasted Coffee is investing more than $1.7 million to expand in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania. The project is expected to create 46 new, full-time jobs over the next three years.

According to state officials, the company is renovating and upgrading the recently acquired vacant 84,000-square-foot former Sunbury Textile Mill, which closed in August 2020. Most of the company will move to the new building which will have new, high-capacity roasters and packaging equipment.

“My administration is pleased to support Fresh Roasted Coffee as the company continues to grow in Pennsylvania,” said Governor Tom Wolf. “This expansion project will create nearly 50 jobs in the Sunbury area and redevelop a large and important building for this community. Projects like this benefit families, strengthen our economy and build a brighter future for Pennsylvania.”

The company received a funding proposal from the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) for a $184,000 Pennsylvania First grant, an $88,000 workforce development grant to help the company train workers, and a $1.5 million low interest loan from the Pennsylvania Industrial Development Authority (PIDA).

Founded in 2009 and based in Sunbury, Fresh Roasted Coffee is a privately owned coffee roasting company that offers affordable, high-quality and freshly roasted specialty coffees and teas.
