Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--McLane Company Incorporated (Temple, Texas), a wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Incorporated (NYSE: BRK.A and BRK.B), plans to break ground next Monday on a refrigerated food distribution center expansion in Athens, Georgia. McLane operates a 265,000-square-foot dry and refrigerated distribution facility at 300 Highway 29 North in Clarke County and plans to construct a 100,000-square-foot addition to make space for more dry storage.
