US Foods adds jobs with new Lexington location
One of America’s leading foodservice distributors announced today its plans to expand its US Foods Stock Yards® operations to a 220,000-square-foot space at 133 Lexington Parkway, Lexington. The building is the former home of the Save-A-Lot grocery distribution center.
The new location will support the growth and expansion of the company’s US Foods Stock Yards products operations.
