Performance Food Group Co. has increased its local footprint with a new facility in Hanover County.
The Goochland-based food distribution giant recently started operations at its newly built 332,000-square-foot sales and distribution center at 10399 Washington Highway in Cardinal Commerce Center. The industrial park is just south of Ashland at the intersection of Route 1 and Cedar Lane.
PFG continues to operate its other local distribution facility at 7420 Ranco Road in Henrico County. The company had previously planned the Hanover project as a replacement facility for the Henrico outpost but has since reversed those plans.
“Having two facilities in the Richmond region allows us to put processes and procedures in place in each facility that cater to the unique needs of certain customers,” company spokesman Scott Golden said in an email.
Golden didn’t elaborate further on why the company changed its plans.
The Hanover facility is anticipated to have a workforce of 650 people, the majority of them transfers from the Henrico center. About 125 new jobs are expected to be filled over the next few years to get the facility to its planned total headcount, Golden said.
It’s unclear how much the project cost to build, as Golden declined to comment on the final price tag of the project. When the project was announced by Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s office in late 2021, the facility was estimated to cost $80.2 million.

Indianapolis-based Scannell Properties developed the property. ARCO National Construction handled design and construction of the facility. PFG leases the building, which is utilized by its subsidiary Performance Foodservice.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Hanover center was held in September, the same month the center started to send out products. The center began to receive products in August, according to Golden.
PFG, which was the highest-ranked local firm on the latest Fortune 500 rankings, reported $14.9 billion in net sales (up 2%) and $150.1 million in net income in its most recent quarter.
The company has more than 150 facilities in the United States and Canada, according to its website.

While growth in the area is nice, people in Hanover are concerned about how many warehouses the county is attracting (ABC, Vitamin Shoppe, Wegman’s, and now PFG). It’s better for the tax base than more houses, though.
