Ben E. Keith’s New Facility to Open in 2018

Ben E. Keith Foods Mid-South Division will move into its new 430,000-square-foot facility in North Little Rock this January. The space is 50 percent larger than its two central Arkansas facilities and features updated technology that sets it apart from competitors, including an automated storage and retrieval system. A demo kitchen with onsite chef and 150-person classroom style conference room will allow direct clientele interaction.

“We’re a customer and community driven company,” said Rusty Mathis, general manager. “The new facility allows us to grow within the region and interact collaboratively with our customers and community.”
