AUSTELL, Ga. - A meal delivery service owned by Swiss food giant Nestle is opening a distribution center in suburban Atlanta, investing $3.2 million and hiring 250 people.
Freshly announced the Austell facility on Wednesday, saying it would allow the company to start serving southeastern customers.
Freshly will initially hire 150 people as operations begin this month, rising to 250 people by year’s end. The subscription service delivers precooked meals that customers can reheat and eat quickly.
CEO Mike Wystrach said being acquired by Nestle last year allowed Freshly to "scale bigger and faster." Nestle paid $950 million, with up to $550 million more depending on growth.
