BUDA, Texas — A food distribution and warehouse facility in Buda is expanding.
US Foods already has a 290,000-square-foot warehouse, and it’s adding 170,000 square feet to it.
Construction is expected to begin next year and will be completed in the second half of 2026.
On Wednesday, Gov. Greg Abbott called the expansion a “significant investment in Buda.”
“Companies invest and expand in our great state because of our unmatched business-friendly climate, reasonable regulations, and highly skilled workforce,” Abbott said. “I look forward to seeing continued success for US Foods as we work together to build a bigger, better Texas for all.”
Abbott said a Texas Enterprise Fund grant of over $1 million has been extended to the company.
“Central Texas is a critical part of our distribution footprint and we’ve been proud to do business here since we opened our Buda warehouse in 2011,” said Taylor McIntyre, area president for US Foods. “This more than $120 million investment will enable us to continue to grow and enhance our partnerships with the many foodservice operators we serve across the region.”
It will bring 165 new, full-time jobs to the area by 2031. That includes everything from warehouse workers to administrative roles.
“This project, enabled by the Texas Enterprise Fund, will help create more job opportunities for our residents to thrive, which is a critical component to creating a good quality of life in Buda,” said Buda Mayor Lee Urbanovsky. “This is a top priority for city council, so we appreciate the support from the governor to make this expansion happen.”
Hiring is expected to begin when the expansion is close to completion.
