LYNCHBURG, VA-Purchase, NY-based Frito-Lay has decided to stick with Virginia and spend $30 million to expand its plant at 230 Jefferson Ridge Parkway. This is the second major expansion on the property in less than a year.

The snack-maker announced a $15 million extension in June of 2001 to what was then its 410,000-sf manufacturing facility. By growing the Lynchburg plant by an unspecified amount of square feet, Frito-Lay will be able to accommodate the production of two additional product lines, one of which will be its new product, Tostitos Scoops.

Frito-Lay first came to Lynchburg in 1998 and proceeded to build its $150 million chip plant for the production of its popular Lay’s and Ruffles brand potato chips, its Doritos and Tostitos tortilla chips, as well as a bevy of other brand name snack products. The Lynchburg plant marked the company’s first manufacturing foray in the state of Virginia.
