Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Family-owned Barrel O' Fun Snack Foods Company (Perham, Minnesota) has broken ground on a $25 million snack food manufacturing plant and distribution center in Phoenix, Arizona. Plans call for the construction of a 140,000-square-foot building on a 12.5-acre site located east of the northeast corner of South 75th Avenue and West Sherman Street. The area is fully improved with all utilities. Major construction will commence this month, and the facility is expected to be fully operational in late summer 2009.

The facility will be the company's first manufacturing plant outside of its original facility in Perham and will improve distribution networks in the West and Southwest.

In addition to its own brands, 70% of Barrel O' Fun products is private label.

Sun State Builders (Tempe, Arizona) will develop and manage construction of the building while Barrel O' Fun will maintain responsibility for procurement and installation of processing equipment.
