Mrs. Rebecca Luna is pleased to announce the successful completion of lease negotiations with Ben E. Keith Company for her property located at 701 W. Haning St. The property will be used as a Shuttle Depot for their food service division and will provide a strategic and logistically advantageous site for servicing the US-75 corridor and rapidly growing area of North Texas.
“No warehousing, nor inbound freight handling will occur”, according to Mark Mullins, Ben E. Keith Co. Director of Transportation DFW. In addition, Mullins stated, “we would hire resident Class A CDL drivers in the area to run our existing routes as well as focus on expanding our service in the area with new customers and expected growth in the area. A real potential of employment for 2-20 qualified people in the first year of our residency is our expectation.”
“Ben E. Keith Co. is a familiar and highly respected name in the food and beverage distribution industry.” said Luna. “I am extremely pleased that I was in a position to compromise my investment strategy so that a mutually agreeable lease could be finalized. Not only will Ben E. Keith Co. bring new employment opportunities to the community, but they are very well known in other areas for their contribution to and civic involvement in the communities they serve. Please make them welcome.”
