Synergy Food Group, based in Columbia, KY will be expanding their business, in cooperation with a venture from Taste ‘N Tell.
Taste ‘N Tell is based out of The Woodlands, Texas. Its primary business provides services to commissaries in various states (including Texas).
“This is an excellent opportunity for the local Synergy Food Group,” stated Greg Durrett, president of Synergy.
Durrett noted that this partnership would bring additional jobs to the Columbia, Kentucky, location; as well as offer additional product alternatives.
Tim Cloutier, president of Taste ‘N Tell was in Columbia last week to visit and view the operations.
They plan on starting with a couple of pre-packaged items at the location facility. The items would be packaged in Columbia and shipped.
According to Durrett, “Plans are underway for Synergy Food Group to start with a couple of their packaged items.”
Synergy Food Group has been in Columbia for approximately one year. They have employed approximately thirteen full time; including an operations manager, a logistics person, and a cost analyst. In addition, they have around ten temporaries at the facility.
“We are looking forward to the opportunities this brings to our community,” said Mayor Pamela Hoots.
