The facility will be 1.4 million sq. ft. and create 1,000 jobs, and Chobani is investing $1.2 billion into the plant, which is the largest investment in United States history for a natural food manufacturing facility.
The facility will serve as a hub to distribute products to customers and communities throughout Georgia’s Cherokee, Fannin, Gilmer, Pickens, Towns and Union counties.
The facility is slated to open in summer 2026, and the project is expected to create 30 jobs initially, with plans to expand to 60 people in the coming years.
