Jam and jelly maker Smucker's is planning a $340 million manufacturing operation in Longmont that could bring as many as 500 jobs to the area.

I suspect, biasedly though, that this is more Trump winning and these jobs came from Mexico.
If you’re in the food business and you want to expand, go where the populace is inclined to have the munchies.
Back in the 70s Smuckers, Sprekels Sugar and a tire company used to be located in the Salinas, Ca. area. Then they were gone.
Wonder why Smuckers didn’t come back to the Salinas valley?
Schmucker’s? With a name like that, they gotta be good!
you ####!!
Can never get a first one in on this board!
Bing, pow, boom, zip...
Once you have their new Colorado jam, you’ll want more....jam.
“If you’re in the food business and you want to expand, go where the populace is inclined to have the munchies”
ROFL! Longmont would be that place!
Good for the country.
Plus now I can feel patriotic when I buy their new Strawberry Jam with Honey. Great stuff on fresh hot bread with butter and ice cold milk. Reminds me of my Grandma in Michigan who made her own jams and jellies.
Rhetorical?
Why'd they leave in the first place?
Looks like your bias got the better of you. Smuckers appears to be building the plant due to increased demand. (And you know that if it was moving back from Mexico it would be trumpeting that fact from the rooftops).
“Once you have their new Colorado jam, you’ll want more....jam.”
Special ingredients...from Colorado!
I can just image if that ever happened for real, some employee sneaking in some pot oil (most popular in Colorado).
“Looks like your bias got the better of you. Smuckers appears to be building the plant due to increased demand.”
What is your source for that? I didn’t see it in the article,.
probably from Oxnard, CA and taxed out of the state
Cannabis infused jam? mmmmmmmmm. say the stoners.
Will be interesting to see if Hershey’s returns.
Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Where are they going to get the peanuts? Georgia is 1500 miles away. They do grow peaches in Grand Junction. That however is on the other side of the Rocky Mountains. They do grow hops for beer in Colorado. And Oskar Blues Brewry is in Longmont. I just don’t see where the ingredients will come from...that is for PB and J.
Uh, much like I didn’t see the source for your contention that the jobs were coming back from Mexico? I went to the Smuckers website, and numerous news articles. Not a peep.
Not until the FedGove gets out of the sugar business.
