Raybern’s to invest $7.1 million, add 70 jobs in Shannon

Raybern’s plans to invest $7.1 million to expand its operations in Shannon and create 70 jobs, according to the Mississippi Development Authority. The expansion is being driven by increased demand and new customer contracts that require additional production capacity.

The company has made sandwiches in Mississippi since 2015. As part of the expansion, Raybern’s is adding new production lines at its Lee County operations, building on what the source describes as a decade of success there.
