Performance Food Group, Inc. — a Fortune 500 company and one of North America’s largest food distributors — announced two years ago it would be investing nearly $120 million and adding nearly 100 new jobs in the St. Louis metro. This week, the company cut the ribbon on its new, 338,000-square-foot distribution center, which expands PFG’s presence in St. Louis and allows the company to grow its operations locally as well as across the Midwest region.
The region’s business and civic leadership — led by Greater St. Louis, Inc. and the St. Louis Economic Development Partnership — collaborated with the State of Missouri and the Missouri Department of Economic Development to facilitate the deal that led to the new facility and the nearly 100 new jobs it brings to the region.
The Bottom Line: Performance Foodservice has more than 60 years of history in the region. Their significant investment in this new distribution facility speaks to their confidence in our strong workforce, reliable infrastructure, and growing distribution sector. And collaborative regional leadership helped bring that investment to fruition.
