Chobani is hosting a grand opening celebration at its new Twin Falls, Idaho production facility on Dec. 17. The grand opening ceremony takes place almost exactly a year after Chobani’s Dec. 19, 2011, groundbreaking ceremony. Since then, contractors have built the approximately 950,000-square-foot production facility in southeast Twin Falls. It’s the company’s second facility in the U.S.
Melissa Stagnaro, Chobani’s corporate communications director, said Chobani will be producing yogurt by the grand opening.
When the factory is at full capacity, it will produce as many as 4.2 million cases of yogurt per week, according to a Nov. 5 presentation to the Twin Falls City Council by John Winnie, project manager for Chobani’s Twin Falls plant.
At that meeting, Winnie indicated there are plans for future growth at Chobani Idaho, but declined to elaborate. PD
