Four Colliers International Atlanta Teams Assisted in Southeastern Search for Site, Lease Negotiations for Tenant and Landlord, and Will Manage Construction and Build-Out

Canada’s EarthFresh will expand into the Southeastern U.S. with an advanced 140,000-square-foot packing plant and distribution center that will operate as EarthFresh Atlanta, using the newest available technologies and equipment to serve the Southeast. Located at 3800 Naturally Fresh Boulevard in College Park, the site was leased from Oakmont Industrial Group, and was chosen for its ease of access, customer service, speed to market, availability of skilled workers and proximity to rich agricultural regions.

EarthFresh Atlanta will employ more than 100 people when fully operational in September of this year.

“This new location perfectly complements our vision and plan to provide fresh potatoes to our retailers and consumers,” said Tom Hughes, CEO ofEarthFresh. “The addition of this new location will allow us to keep expanding our base of business and target new customers.”

Hughes added, “The assistance provided to us by the Georgia Department of Econonmic Development was invaluable. The State and people of Georgia will benefit from our investment of bringing fresh potatoes to the area and creating more jobs.”

EarthFresh grows and delivers more than 10,000 acres of fresh potatoes to retailers and foodservice providers across USA and Canada. The new location offers the company the ability to better service Southeastern and Southcentral USA, delivering fresher product faster to market.

The Colliers Food Advisory Services team of Chris Cummings, Turner Wisehart and Sam Campbell represented EarthFresh in its search for a Southeastern site and lease negotiations. Colliers Site Selection Services’ John Walden helped with comparative site analyses and incentives negotiations. Colliers Project Management’s Suzan Talley was selected to assist with construction and build-out. The Colliers Industrial Services team of Lee Cardwell and Darren Ross represent Oakmont Industrial Group in lease negotiations.
