Liscio’s Bakery inaugurated its new facility in Glassboro, New Jersey, USA, on Tuesday. The new 109,000 square-foot facility was built with an investment of USD13.5m.
“This was absolutely a necessity for us,” said Liscio’s co-owner Chad Vilotti. “Thankfully, business has grown in leaps and bounds prompting this new facility and we’re really excited that it’s happening”, he continued, according to local press.
Liscio’s Bakery was founded in 1994 by James Liscio, who opened the bakery after 14 years working in the baking business. Liscio’s has been making baking breads, rolls, pastries and cakes ever since.Liscio’s original store is located on the Black Horse Pike in Sicklerville, NJ, in what has now become Liscio’s Bakery & Deli of Cross Keys.
The new site was previously owned by ADM Cocoa and it was closed in 2009. Liscio’s expects to create more than 70 new, full-time jobs at the new facility. “We are happy to grow here in New Jersey,” Vilotti said. “We now have one of the premier bakeries in the entire region right here in South Jersey. We’ll stay close to our families and employees.”
