MEBANE, N.C. — Gov. Roy Cooper confirmed Tuesday a Chick-fil-A distribution center is coming to Mebane.
It's a $54 million investment in Alamance County. The center is slated to open in early 2022 and will create 160 jobs with a minimum average salary of $62,000. The current average wage in Alamance County is slightly over $41,000.
"North Carolina attracts the nation’s most well-known brands because of our strong workforce and steady leadership, even in a crisis,” said Governor Cooper. "Alamance County is the right location with the right infrastructure to make Chick-Fil-A's new approach to the restaurant’s supply chain a success.”
The company’s facility in Mebane will be its second permanent, full-scale distribution center, joining the first full-scale facility near the company’s headquarters in Georgia.
“Building Chick-fil-A Supply’s next distribution center in North Carolina allows us to support the incredible growth of the area,” said Josh Grote, senior director, Chick-fil-A Supply. “Specifically, Mebane provides great access to talent and is in close proximity to major transit routes, enabling us to best serve our customers: Chick-fil-A franchised Operators, licensees, and their teams.”
