The project includes a 15,000-square-foot expansion at J&P Park’s main campus located at 3507 Cokesbury Road in Hodges. This will enable the company to shift Northern Brewer’s operations from Minnesota to Greenwood County. “J&P Park’s growth is a testament to the enduring strength of our local economy and the skilled workforce here in Greenwood County,” commented Chuck Moates, Chairman of the Greenwood County Council. “With a century of history in Greenwood, J&P Park is truly a cornerstone of our community and one that continues to relocate business acquisitions to its Hodges campus from other parts of the country. This expansion, creating 50 new jobs, not only highlights their deep roots but also reinforces our shared commitment to building a thriving future together.”
The new facility will boost J&P Park’s capacity for picking, packing, and fulfilling e-commerce orders for Northern Brewer’s homebrewing products, enhancing their operational efficiency.
