Alabama beverage company to build bottling plant in SC

SPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP) — An Alabama beverage company plans to invest $130 million and create more than 100 jobs in South Carolina’s Spartanburg County. Milo’s Tea Company, headquartered in Bessemer, Alabama, will open a new brewing and bottling operation in Moore, South Carolina. Spartanburg County Councilman David Britt announced the plan Monday during a County Council meeting. The Herald-Journal reports the facility would be the company’s fourth plant in the U.S. Britt says the company will build a 110,000-square-foot plant to accommodate brewing and bottling operations. Gov. Henry McMaster said Tuesday that operations are expected to be online by the end of 2024.
