CROOKSTON, MN - RBJ's Spreadable Fruit, Crookston, MN is breaking ground on a new shipping and storage facility to keep up with the demand for its products.  The facility will be located on the Samuelson farm, 6 miles West of Crookston.

"We are excited to have one central shipping facility as well as adequate storage for all of our products" comments Kim Samuelson, President, RBJ's Inc.  RBJ's Restaurant has been the main shipping site for RBJ's Spreadable Fruit products, however with the rapid growth of both entities it was obvious that a new facility would soon be necessary.  Samuelson adds, "We are constantly developing new products in all of our product lines.  In order to accommodate our growth we had to design a facility that would fulfill both our immediate and future needs." 

RBJ's Spreadable Fruit manufactures and sells Signature Syrups, jams, mixes and honey nationwide.  In addition to its own domestic sales, RBJ's also private labels products for a number of other larger companies throughout the United States.  RBJ's gourmet products are carried in most fine gift stores in addition to many regional grocery chains.
