Cheney Brothers, a leading broadline food distributor, announced it is expanding its Florence County operations with an additional $42.5 million investment that will create 85 jobs, according to the South Carolina Department of Commerce.
Headquartered in Florida, Cheney Brothers processes and distributes a variety of food products across the United States, including meat and seafood, dairy, frozen food, and other dry groceries.
The company also supplies food service equipment and offers kitchen and bar design services to its customers.
“We have been greatly impressed by the business-friendly attitude of the state of South Carolina. We look forward to a long and very bright future, distributing product across the state,” said Cheney Brothers CEO Byron Russell.
Cheney Brothers will expand its South Carolina distribution facility at 2491 Florence Harllee Blvd. in Florence, which first broke ground in 2023.
Operations are online. Those interested in joining Cheney Brothers should go to the company’s careers page.
The state’s Coordinating Council for Economic Development approved job development credits related to the project.
