“KeHE is thrilled to announce this expansion, especially in such a key location,” said Chris Graas, KeHE VP of Sales. “Our goal is to continue to provide exceptional and expanded service to the region. Since Colorado is a hub for product innovation and sustainability within the food & beverage industry, KeHE is committed to having a significant impact and presence in this community. By establishing an innovation destination and creating a place to experience KeHE Goodness, we are eager to expand our scope and business in Boulder to better serve our partners.”
The upgrades will provide KeHE with 124,00 additional square feet across all temperature zones. This includes 33% more freezer space, 66% more capacity in the cooler, and 43% more in dry space.
In addition, KeHE will add new employment opportunities in the Aurora and Boulder areas. These jobs will include Selector, Forklift Operator, and Receiver positions. The hope is these new jobs will provide economic growth to the Colorado region.
“Aurora is proud to have KeHE Distributors in our city and honored that they have chosen our city to expand their facility here,” said Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman.
