Kellogg Co. signs lease at Enterprise Park
Update: Talked to a Kellogg spokeswoman, who said the company will effectively be doubling the size of its local snack distribution facility with the new lease, which has a five-year life.
Kellogg has 29 employees at its current distribution center of Business Park Drive, just a few miles away from the space at Enterprise II. The company will gain occupancy of its new space on Dec. 1, spokeswoman Thuy-An Wilkins told me.
Kellogg hasn't yet determined whether it will add more local jobs during or after the move, she said.
"The impetus for this is growth in our snack business," Wilkins said, referring to brands such as Keebler.
If you didn't see it in today's News & Record, cereal maker Kellogg Co. has signed a lease on 117,500 square feet of industrial space in Greensboro.
The Battle Creek, Mich.-based food company's lease is at Enterprise II, part of an airport-area park owned by Highwoods Properties. Officials with Raleigh-based Highwoods confirmed the Kellogg lease Thursday but said they did not know what the space will be used for and how many people Kellogg might employ there.
Kellogg officials still haven't returned my calls from yesterday.
With the cereal maker lined up, Enterprise II, a 418,000-square-foot distribution facility, is 72 percent pre-leased.
Other park tenants include Greensboro-based RF Micro Devices, which plans to open its new microchip wafer plant in another shell building on Brigham Road within a year.
