Eskimo Cold Storage set to open new facility in Hall County, Ga

 Hiring has started on an eventual 60 jobs for a 225,000-square-foot Eskimo Cold Storage plant set to open by the end of 2024 in Hall County, Ga.

“Probably near the end of November, we’ll probably get more in the full swing of doing that,” said Karen Reece, vice president and co-owner/operator.

The plant hopes to add the jobs in about three months, bringing Eskimo’s total employment to about 150, she said.

The 66-foot-tall plant, next to Eskimo’s existing 250,000-square-foot freezer at 3001 Athens Highway in Gainesville, Ga., will feature a semi-automated system with the entire facility being held at zero degrees, according to a press release last year.
