Bonduelle Americas has selected Philadelphia for its newest office location. As a result, the company plans to expand operations and add more than 100 jobs in the city.

The plant-based food manufacturer evaluated more than 20 markets during its site search. Eventually, the company narrowed its options to Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago, Atlanta, and Chapel Hill.

Philadelphia stood out for several strategic reasons. In particular, the city’s workforce, food industry presence, and regional connectivity helped drive the decision.

The company will occupy 27,000 square feet at 2400 Market Street through a sublease agreement. The space is being subleased from audio content company Audacy.

Bonduelle plans to use the office as a new “growth hub.” In turn, the location will support marketing initiatives, product expansion, and digital growth efforts.

The project is also expected to create significant employment opportunities. As part of the expansion, more than 100 positions are planned for the Philadelphia office.

In addition, the company secured a $500,000 Pennsylvania First grant to support the project. Consequently, state-level economic development incentives helped strengthen the relocation effort.

Philadelphia has continued attracting corporate office users seeking access to talent, transportation, and urban amenities. Meanwhile, food and consumer product companies remain active across the region.
