Senn Brothers Produce, a produce distributor, announced it is growing its South Carolina footprint with a new operation in Jasper County. The company’s $2.9 million investment will create 19 new jobs.
Founded in 1944 and based in West Columbia, Senn Brothers Produce is a family-owned distributor of locally sourced produce. The company delivers fresh, high-quality fruits and vegetables sourced from local farmers and producers.
Senn Brothers Produce's new facility, located in the Cypress Ridge Business Park in Ridgeland, will have cold storage and office space to allow for expanded service to the Hilton Head and Savannah markets. Operations are expected to be online in the third quarter of 2026.
The Coordinating Council for Economic Development awarded a $75,000 Set-Aside grant to Jasper County to assist with the costs of site preparation and building construction.
