Beef Distributor Expanding Charlotte Plant

A high-end beef supplier is expanding its plant in Charlotte, creating as many as 100 jobs over five years, the company announced Monday.

Buckhead Beef Co., a wholly owned subsidiary of Sysco Corp., will open the new 24,000-square-foot facility in southwest Charlotte late this summer, it said in a news release Monday. The plant will distribute Certified Angus Beef, veal, poultry, seafood, wild game and other foods to chefs, restaurateurs and Sysco-operating companies across the Carolinas.

Buckhead Beef, whose main plant is in Atlanta, will hire 40 workers initially, including butchers, delivery drivers, warehouse staff and sales representatives, with 80 to 100 hires likely by the fifth year, the company said.
