GLENDALE, Ariz. – Nestlé’s new beverage factory and distribution center is now nestled in Glendale. 

The city of Glendale hopes this facility will help brew even more economic development.

The newest facility in Glendale is sweet: coffee creamer sweet, that is.

What we know:

The site held its grand opening on Tuesday, Jan. 28 for its more than 600,000 square feet of production space.

It’s bringing over 300 jobs, including high-tech manufacturing positions.

The facility is off Reems Road and Northern Avenue.

‘These are high end, high-paying jobs’

This isn’t your average joe facility.

On these grounds, workers will produce and distribute several Nestlé creamer brands, including Coffee-Mate, Natural Bliss and Starbucks.

As coffee culture continues to brew in the United States, this west coast location will help deliver millions of in-demand products to consumers.

“When you think of Nestlé being a major global brand, it is something that highlights our community and I think it shows what we are able to do,” said Lori German, deputy director at Glendale’s Office of Economic Development.

She said Glendale was chosen because it had the land space and infrastructure needed.

“These are high end, high-paying jobs that are important for this community,” German said.

She says residents will benefit, too, with the company’s presence.

“It’s an organization that wants to be part of the fabric of the community. So they already have partnerships, they’ve made donations to local organizations, they have partnerships with educational folks, they’ve been working with the city and volunteering with different projects, so that is something where you truly see the needle move,” she explained.

‘We make sure we come out full force’

By the numbers:

That’s not the only development looking to bring jobs into the west Valley city.

VAI Resort is being constructed across the street from State Farm Stadium. It’s a 60-acre property set to include the world’s first Mattel Adventure Park.

It expects to bring in well over $13 million a year in tax revenue.

German says projects like these are part of the city’s goal and vision for economic growth.

“When we have visits with business electors, or different businesses and companies, we make sure we come out full force,” she said.

If one thing is for certain, Gen Z and millennials love their coffee, and they also love their coffee creamers.

An estimated 70% of coffee cups are sweetened with creamer.
