Frick’s Quality Meats will embark on a $8 million expansion in Washington, resulting in the creation of 40 new jobs for the community.
To accommodate the company’s expansion, the city is making necessary stormwater improvements to the industrial park through a recently approved Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) for $678,075. The CDBG was approved by the Missouri Department of Economic Development (DED).
Frick’s Quality Meats, which manufactures smoked meats and sausages in many varieties, will break ground on an 18,000-square-foot expansion to its existing 120,000-square-foot facility at 360 M. E. Frick Drive in the fall of 2017.
The city of Washington will utilize the CDBG to make stormwater improvements at the industrial park, which is also expected to begin this fall.
“We are very pleased to see Frick’s expansion of its existing facility within Schulze Industrial Park on Bluff Road. Their commitment to the Washington community over generations is impressive and we appreciate our partnership with them,” said Darren Lamb, Washington city administrator.
“We are excited to see this growth opportunity for Frick’s Quality Meats,” added Mayor Sandy Lucy. “This is another fine example of a locally owned industry investing in our community and our labor force.”
Family-Owned
Frick’s Quality Meats is a family-owned and -operated company that has been located in Washington for five generations. Frick’s makes artisan smoked meats and sausages with distribution to grocery retailers in 44 U.S. states.
“We look forward to the opportunities the expansion brings,” said Dave Frick, “including meeting the growing demand of our customers and the launch of Frick’s Natural and Organic products.”
Frick’s existing facility, built in 2005, is Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) compliant and holds a grade “AA” certification. GFSI audits are considered the highest standard of audits in the food industry, and AA is the highest achievable rating.
Quality Frickin’ Meats.
Their smoked ham is quite good.
I’ll bet it is.
Mexican jobs?
“Why settle for just eating, when you can be Fricking!”
“You can beat our prices, but you can’t beat our meat!”
“How can you have any pudding when you won’t eat your Frick?”
They market in our area and the ham steaks are really good.
Is it just my computer or is FR slow as grease on a cold day?
