Chobani to invest $500m in Twin Falls plant expansion 

US food and beverage company Chobani is investing $500m to expand its plant in the city of Twin Falls in Idaho. 

The company, known for its Greek-style yogurt, said the Twin Falls facility expansion would “strengthen Idaho’s dairy industry” by adding over 500,000 sq ft of space and boosting production capacity by 50%.

Described by Chobani as “the largest natural food production facility in the country”, the Twin Falls site manufactures Chobani yogurt, oat milk, and coffee creamers.

While Chobani has not provided a timeline for completion, the City of Twin Falls government, in a separate announcement, said construction will begin “immediately,” with operations expected to start in early 2026. 

A Chobani spokesperson confirmed to Just Food the 160 jobs created through the investment will be full-time roles. Once the project is completed, the site will employ over 1,300 full- and part-time staff, the spokesperson added.

The facility will supply products to customers in the US and Mexico. 

Chobani operates two production facilities in the US, one in Twin Falls and the other in South Edmeston in New York. 

The company also owns a production facility in Muskegon in Michigan, which is dedicated to producing its La Colombe coffee products.  

Chobani acquired La Colombe in 2023 for $900m. 

When asked about Chobani’s annual net sales and net income, the spokesperson added: “As a private company, we do not disclose this information.”
