Grillo's Pickles Opens $54M Taylorsville Plant, Phase 1 of a Larger Campus
Grillo's Pickles opened its $54 million, 155,000-square-foot cold-pickle facility in Taylorsville on July 27, with up to 150 jobs expected by 2028 and additional production lines rolling out over the next 12 to 18 months. Parent company Irresistible Foods Group also purchased an 88-acre site adjacent to a $175 million King's Hawaiian bakery targeting another 150 jobs later in 2026, with two more IFG brands not yet broken ground.
That is 300-plus manufacturing positions arriving in a county under 100,000 population, competing directly for the Columbus-area precision manufacturing labor base anchored by Cummins and Faurecia. If you recruit in that corridor, wage pressure is already building.
