Pretzels Inc. hosted a grand opening celebration on Thursday for its new manufacturing facility in Lawrence VenturePark near 23rd Street and O’Connell Road.
The company is currently employing about 70 people in the facility that makes pretzels for a variety of companies that sell them under a host of store brand names.
CEO Greg Pearson, who was in Lawrence from the company’s Indiana headquarters, said he thinks the Lawrence facility will have about 250 jobs once it is operating at full capacity. He didn’t provide a timeline for that type of growth, but noted the company overall has about tripled in size in the last five years.
