Indoor agriculture company Local Bounti Corp. says it has expanded its distribution with Sam’s Club for leafy greens from its controlled environment agriculture facility in Mount Pleasant, Texas.
"The past several months have been pivotal for Local Bounti with the commencement of commercial operations at our new growing facilities in Washington and Texas," Local Bounti President and Chief Financial Officer Kathleen Valiasek said in a news release. "The incremental capacity afforded by these facilities is critical in our effort to provide our retail customers consistent access to fresh, sustainable, locally grown produce."
Local Bounti said it also fulfills shipments to Sam’s Club’s regional distributions from its facility in Byron, Ga.
“In connection with our offtake agreement with Sam's Club, we are thrilled to expand our distribution with them and utilize capacity from our Texas facility,” Valiasek said.
