Sabra Dipping Co. opened the doors to its newly expanded hummus production facility in Chesterfield, Va. With the 118,000-square-foot expansion, Sabra expects to add an additional 70 jobs to the Chesterfield County location next year. Sabra first announced plans for the expansion last spring, with the opening of its Center of Excellence research and development facility.
“Sabra first opened its Virginia facility in 2010, and today marks our second expansion since,” says new company CEO Shali Shalit-Shoval. “The hummus category continues to grow at a [high] rate of each year, and we are proud to lead the category with more than 65% market share. This facility now allows Sabra to produce up to 8,000 tons of quality, delicious, kitchen-fresh hummus each month.”
