King’s Hawaiian will expand its bakery in Georgia, investing $85 million and hiring more than 160 new employees.
King’s Hawaiian was founded in 1950 in Hilo, Hawaii, and operated in Honolulu before opening a bakery in Torrance, California, in 1977 and eventually shifting all business to the mainland. The Georgia plant was opened in 2010 to improve distribution of the company’s breads on the East Coast and added a fourth production line in 2020 at a cost of about $30 million.
