Mom’s Meals, which produces refrigerated home-delivered meals for the healthcare industry, announced it will be building a 200,000-square-foot prep kitchen in Oklahoma City. Mom’s Meals uses professional chefs and registered dietitians to create their seasonal menus.
The new facility will be built west of Will Rogers World Airport and initially employ 125. The workforce will eventually expand to 550.
The Oklahoma City facility will be the first time Mom’s Meals, based in Iowa, has built its own facility and construction is expected to begin later this year. The other two facilities the company operates are located in Iowa and Ohio.
“Mom’s Meals is a very exciting win for our community,” said Jeff Seymour, executive vice president of economic development for the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber. “The company is going to bring a lot of new jobs to our city, undertake a big construction project and provides a great service to the community.”
