SC Produce Distributor expands with $2.9 million investment, creating new jobs
Dec 12, 2024
COLUMBIA, SC (WOLO)– Produce distributor Senn Brothers announced today plans for a new operation in Jasper County. The company’s $2.9 million investment will create 19 new jobs, say officials.
According to a release from the Governor’s office, Senn Brothers Produce is a family-owned distributor of locally sourced produce.
Officials say the new facility, located in the Cypress Ridge Business Park in Ridgeland, will have cold storage and office space to allow for expanded service to the Hilton Head and Savannah markets.
The Coordinating Council for Economic Development awarded a $75,000 Set-Aside grant to Jasper County to assist with the costs of site preparation and building construction, say officials.
In a statement, South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster said, “Agribusiness has long been one of South Carolina’s leading industries, and today’s announcement is further proof that it continues to flourish. We congratulate Senn Brothers Produce on this $2.9 million investment and look forward to the impact these 19 new jobs will have in Jasper County.”
Operations are expected to be online sometime in 2026.
