Brown said the infrastructure in the area will provide ease of transportation to their newly constructed warehouse and “additional possibilities with the movement of our products across the United States.”

“We are looking forward to working with the county on finding employees who are excited about being a part of a growing company with long-term goals firmly in place,” he said.

“South Carolina is constantly working to bring investments and jobs to all areas of our state, but it’s always exciting to see a company invest in one of South Carolina’s rural areas. We celebrate Citadel Brands LLC’s decision to locate in Williamsburg County and create more than 100 new jobs in the area,” said Gov. Henry McMaster.

The Kingstree facility is expected to be operational in June 2022.
