DG Foods expands, creates dozens of jobs in state

DG Foods is expanding and will create dozens of jobs in the state, according to a Facebook post announcing the move.

The post described DG Foods as a homegrown company. It did not specify the location, the timeline for hiring or the precise number of positions beyond saying the expansion will create dozens of jobs.

Business expansions by locally based companies can provide a boost to regional economies by increasing employment opportunities, supporting local suppliers and generating additional tax revenue. Economic development officials often point to such announcements as signs of growing investor confidence and strengthening local industry, though the post did not include commentary from public officials.

The Facebook post provided only limited details. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
