The Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development is helping one Northern Michigan business get a little bigger.
The Great Lakes Potato Chips Co. in Traverse City is getting $80,000 to help the company expand their Northern Michigan operations.
They say over the last few years, they have outgrown their current facility.
They say this money will go towards securing a new facility, and helping to get their chips into more stores.
President of Great Lakes Potato Chips Co., Chris Girrbach says, “That’ll be a big challenge just in terms of logistical moves but then it’s just going to continue to expand the region and let people get some of the Great Lakes Chips and potatoes that the farmers grow and keep doing our thing.”
