US Foods, Inc. is expanding its existing food distribution and warehousing facility—located at 2150 Fire Cracker Drive, in Buda—according to a news release.

The details

The food service distributor has been in Buda since 2011 and was awarded a $1,072,500 grant from the Texas Enterprise Fund, or TEF.

TEF serves as a performance-based financial incentive for companies with projects that would contribute significant capital investment and new employment opportunities, according to the Texas Economic Development & Tourism website.

The expansion is anticipated to create an additional 165 jobs and over $120 million in capital investment, the news release states.


What they’re saying

US Foods Area President Taylor McIntyre said Central Texas is a “critical” part of their distribution footprint.

Buda Mayor Lee Urbanovsky said the project will help create more job opportunities for residents—a critical component to creating a good quality of life in Buda.

“This is a top priority for city council, so we appreciate the support from the governor to make this expansion happen,” Urbanovsky said in a news release.
