Keany Produce Co. is expanding its operation and has added personnel.
The Landover, Md.-based foodservice distributor plans to expand operations in a 45,000-square-foot building it is refurbishing to include modern refrigeration.
The building, which sits across the street from Keany’s operations, should help alleviate parking problems and lessen pressures the distributor faces in its current operations, said Kevin Keany, president.
In July, Keany was upgrading its facility’s cooling system by installing $500,000 in refrigeration in the 90,000-square-foot building.
Keany said it plans to move into the refurbished building by January.
