Lakeside Foods had a fantastic 2019. The company has grown, expanded, and was named the Large Business of the Year by the Chamber of Manitowoc County.
Right after CEO Glen Tellock received this award, we asked him how the expansion on South 30th Street was coming along. He said the packaging center is done, but now they are building a new 120-130 thousand square foot freezer.
Right now they are using freezers located throughout the state, so having the freezer on site would be “huge” for their bottom line. He explained that they will save a lot of money because they wouldn’t have to “take it to Green Bay, bring it to Manitowoc and package it, and bring it back to Green Bay” as an example.
With the new freezer they will be able to package and store everything right here.
While receiving the award, Tellock praised his employees for their willingness to roll with the punches on the expansion, and other projects.
