Food & Beverage

The Randolph County Economic Development Corporation exists to ensure we create opportunities to grow our region in the right way — because doing things the right way is extremely important to us. Cultivating a strong Food & Beverage industry is a priority. Our business leaders benefit from a vibrant Food & Beverage economy with more than 200 Food & Beverage employers located in the region, including Post Consumer Brands, Krispy Kreme Doughnuts and Del Monte. Our strategic location (centrally located between New York and Miami, and between Washington D.C. and Atlanta) provides easy access to more than 170 million consumers in the U.S. and Canada — as does the fact that we have the 2nd largest interstate highway system in the nation. In addition, abundant water capacity, a strong agricultural economy and a deep labor force (5,400 employed in the Food & Beverage processing sector regionally) fuels the economy and opportunities for success.
