A $1.1 billion bet on Uncrustables
Jefferson County and state officials Thursday enjoyed a very sweet treat in McCalla Thursday as J.M. Smucker opened its mammoth $1.1 billion manufacturing plant dedicated to making its Uncrustables brand frozen sandwich treat.
The 900,000-square-foot factory, located on PB&J Way, is the food company’s third attempt nationally at building a plant big enough to satisfy the escalating demands - and the company’s ambitions - for the product. Smucker’s hopes to make Uncrustables a billion-dollar brand by the end of 2026.
A record-breaking achievement
At 23 years old, 2023 Auburn University graduate Drew Haley Smith has become the youngest female licensed architect in the U.S.
Smith completed the rigorous, six-part Architecture Registration Examination and Architectural Experience Program just one year after her graduation, over six years sooner than the average architect, according to a recent release from Seay Seay & Litchfield (SS&L) Architects.
