Frito-Lay Hub Coming To Prichard

A Frito-Lay distribution center is coming to 3221 Anton Street in Prichard, the Mobile Chamber announced. The project, which broke ground in June, is approximately 25,000 ft² and represents an investment of at least $8 million. Once complete, the facility will serve as the direct-store-delivery hub for Greater Mobile. Frito-Lay North America is a division of PepsiCo, Inc. and operates more than 30 manufacturing facilities and more than 200 distribution centers helping service 315,000 retail customers a week. “This new Frito-Lay distribution center represents a significant capital investment within the City of Prichard and adds to Mobile County’s rapidly growing logistics infrastructure,” Mobile County Commissioner Merceria Ludgood said. “This $8-million capital outlay represents construction and other jobs. Frito-Lay’s distribution center should ignite additional investment and stimulate the local economy.” The facility is expected to be fully operational by June 2025.
