CHARLOTTE — Carolina Foods will more than double its operations with a move to Pineville and an eventual exit from South End.
The sweet-treats producer — known for Duchess Brand products, including Honey Buns — has signed a 15-year lease, with the possibility for multiple extensions, says CEO Dan Myers.
It has taken 40.7 acres at Beacon Partners’ Carolina Logistics Park. Plans call for a 423,000-square-foot, build-to-suit facility at 12031 Carolina Logistics Drive.
“We’re basically doubling the space,” Myers says. “We’re going to make a lot of Honey Buns, doughnuts and pies.”
Carolina Foods expects to begin pushing dirt for that facility by the middle of August. The facility will have 250,000 square feet of processing space, 14,000 square feet of warehousing as well as office and employee space.
