Goya unveils state-of-the-art distribution center

Goya Foods plans to open a state-of-the-art distribution center in Georgia to aid with the expansion of their business in the southeast region.



Located at 4005 Haworth Pkwy., in McDonough, the facility will be officially inaugurated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony Wednesday, Sept. 17, between 10:30 a.m. and 2p.m. McDonough’s Mayor Billy Copeland will be present for the ceremony.



The new Goya Foods facility is expected to spur economic growth and job creation for the region. The custom designed, energy-efficient facility will be the main distribution center for all of Georgia, along with parts of South Carolina, Alabama and Tennessee. The facility spans more than 150,000 sq. ft., and the space allows for future expansion of an additional 50,000 sq. ft. In conjunction with the inauguration of the center, Goya Foods will also present a 1,000-lb. food donation to St. Vincent de Paul Food.



"We are so happy and excited to open the doors of our new distribution center and mark this important milestone in our company's history," said Frank Unanue, president of Goya Foods of Florida. "This new facility allows us to reach sectors of the Southeast region, which will help Goya reach a larger base of consumers and provide a greater variety of Goya products."



Guests attending the ribbon-cutting ceremony will receive an exclusive tour of the distribution center and will also be treated to a Goya-inspired lunch.
