Kyle Economic Development announces ATX Specialty Foods coming to Kyle

KYLE – Kyle Economic Development has announced that ATX Specialty Foods will be the anchor tenant of a 73,000-square-foot building at the Hays Commerce Center.

ATX Specialty Foods’ custom-built production facility will take up 53,000 square feet of the building, with 20,000 square feet being leased out to other commercial tenants.

ATX Specialty Foods is a contract producer of high-quality dips and sauces for a number or brands and restaurants. Their client list includes Texas mainstays like Hopdoddy, Pluckers, Tarka and Julio’s sauces that are sold in store.

“We partner with great restaurants and food companies to offer them our broad range of product and packaging capabilities for their specialty sauces and dips while maintaining their brand’s same authenticity and consistency,” said John Anderson, CEO and founder of ATX Specialty Foods. “Moving our operation to Kyle just felt right, the location along the I-35 Corridor worked for team members and partners alike and the whole process moved quickly from the start.”

The new production facility will offer larger production run capabilities for specialty items, food service production, packaging options and product development opportunities. Currently, ATX Specialty Foods has approximately 44 employees. Though Anderson said they will be looking to expand their operation once they move into the new facilities, which is projected for summer 2022.

“We are excited to have a business like ATX Specialty Foods join our growing and thriving business community,” Kyle Economic Development Director Diana Blank-Torres said. “They are bringing a unique industry and job opportunities to our local economy that will further strengthen our economic diversity and sustainability.”

The Hays Commerce Center is 100-acres of parceled land situated right off Interstate 35 on the northwest corner of the City of Kyle. HPI Real Estate Services and Investments, in partnership with the City, broke ground on the project in 2018, with the intention to expand upon Kyle’s already favorable business economy. With the flexibility to meet a wide-range of real estate needs — including commercial space for lease, purchasable land and full built-to-suit purchase options — the Hays Commerce Center is set to become a prominent mixed-use development at the center of one of the nation’s fastest growing corridors.
