Gonzales Mayor Barney Arceneaux and Blue Runner Foods President Richard Thomas announced the manufacturer will make a $2.26 million capital investment to expand its production with a frozen foods line.
The company hopes to complete the expansion by the end of the year at its site in Gonzales, according to a release from the mayor’s office.
“As the ‘Jambalaya Capital of the World,’ the City of Gonzales is a global ambassador for Louisiana cuisine,” Arceneaux said. “Blue Runner Foods’ continued expansion embodies not only our love of food, but also the local tradition of a solid work ethic in a community that promotes business and supports long-term growth.”
