FORT WORTH, TEXAS — McLane Co. Inc., a supply chain firm owned by Berkshire Hathaway that specializes in groceries, will open a 650,000-square-foot distribution center within Carter Industrial Park in Fort Worth. According to The Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Associated Wholesale Grocers Inc. operated at the site until 2017, when it left the park and laid off more than 2,000 workers. McLane will invest at least $18 million in construction and upgrades to the existing site by January 1, 2020. Under the terms of an incentives package recently approved by the Fort Worth City Council, McLane will employ about 550 people at the facility, 30 percent of which must be Fort Worth residents.
