Atlanta / GA. (gov) Georgia´s Governor Sonny Perdue announced that Torrance, California-based King´s Hawaiian Bakery West Inc. will locate a bakery and distribution operation in Oakwood (Hall County / GA). The company produces Hawaiian sweet bread dinner rolls, sandwich and snack rolls and round bread. The project will create 126 new jobs over two years. King´s Hawaiian expects to add an additional 100 jobs around 2015. «Georgia´s economy receives a considerable boost from the success of food processors in our state, which employ more Georgians than any other sector of manufacturing», said the Governor in a press release. According to the release King´s Hawaiian is a leading producer of dinner rolls, and accounts for more than half of U.S. dinner roll sales. The company will complete construction on an existing 111’000-square-foot shell building in the Oakwood South Industrial Park for its Hall County operation. The company expects to begin production at its new bakery and distribution center in fall 2011. Founded 60 years ago in Hilo, Hawaii by the Taira family, King´s Hawaiian Bakery continues to be well known as a family-owned producer of «irresistible, original-recipe foods made with Aloha Spirit». In addition to operating a dynamic 150’000 square-foot bakery facility, the company continues to expand its distribution of bread products into stores nationwide in the United States.
