Company to hire more than 160 new personnel.
King’s Hawaiian has announced plans to expand its bakery in Georgia, investing $85 million and hiring more than 160 new employees, says Georgia Governor Brian P. Kemp.
The company, based in Los Angeles, announced Tuesday that it would construct a 150,000-square-footbuilding across the street from its existing production plant in Oakwood, northeast of Atlanta. The new plant, scheduled to open in fall 2023, will allow it to increase production “significantly," says King's Hawaiian. The company currently has more than 700 employees in Oakwood.
