JM Smucker plans to invest more than $120 million in the expansion of the Hostess plant.

J.M. Smucker plans to invest $120 million to expand its Hostess manufacturing plant in Columbus, Georgia, with construction expected to finish by early 2027. This investment will involve building a new facility, renovating existing areas, and acquiring new equipment, creating at least 48 jobs. Despite the company's efforts to stabilize the Hostess brand after experiencing nearly $2 billion in write-downs due to inflation and changing consumer preferences, Smucker has been adjusting its operations to improve supply chain efficiency while closing and selling underperforming locations.
