French fry giant McCain Foods has announced it will spend $600 million to double the size of its potato processing facility in southern Alberta.
The Toronto-based food manufacturing company -- which boasts that it makes one in every four French fries produced worldwide -- is making the largest investment in its history in order to double output at its Coaldale facility, just east of the city of Lethbridge.
Koeune attributed part of the expected growth to continued recovery in the restaurant and hospitality sector. Demand for French fries and other frozen potato products collapsed in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions on in-person dining. McCain said the expansion, for which construction is expected to begin later this year, will also have a heavy focus on environmental sustainability.
