Nearly five percent of the nation's bacon may soon come from St. Joseph's Daily's Premium Meats

Daily's Premium Meats

Nearly five percent of the nation's bacon may soon come out of St Joseph. Daily's Premium Meats, which produces a line of bacon sold nationwide, has an existing plant in the city and has been a top employer there since opening in 2016. Last month, it announced it would be doubling the size of its processing plant in the city, investing nearly 100 million dollars into the project. The expansion could generate over a hundred new jobs.

Joe Richmond, the company's General Manager said Daily Meats is "proud to be part of the St. Joseph community,". He thanked the city govenrment and the state of Missouri for its support, and the feeling is mutual. Both St Joseph Mayor John Josendale and Governor Mike Kehoe attended the ground-breaking ceremony for the plan last month.

Dailys Premium Meats started in Montana in the late 18 hundreds, and now maintains production facilities in Missoula, Montana and Salt Lake City, Utah in addition to St Joseph.
