Kitchen Food Co. will have a job fair from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 13, at Hopkinsville Community College’s Emerging Technologies Building.
The company makes ready-to-eat meals that it describes as “fresh, nutritious and affordable.” The Aldi grocery store chain is a Kitchen Food Co. customer.
State and local economic development officials announced in December 2024 that the company would invest $69 million to construct a prepared food facility in the 100,000-square-foot speculative building on Frank Yost Lane in Hopkinsville’s Commerce Park I.
The city of Hopkinsville approved a $4.5 million grant for the project, and Christian County government OK’d a $1 million grant.
The company said it planned to employ 925 workers — paying an average hourly wage of $29, including benefits. According to a promotional flyer, the company will be hiring food production associates, forklift operators, warehouse workers and food processing machine operators.
