G&J Pepsi-Cola Bottlers open new Columbus office, warehouse after $45.2M investment COLUMBUS, Ohio (WSYX) — G&J Pepsi-Cola Bottlers have completed a $45.2 million investment expanding its Columbus operations. The brand new office and warehouse facilities are designed to support continued growth and introduce advanced automation and logistics technologies. The multi-year project was announced in 2023 with a commitment to creating 44 new jobs. The company has exceeded those expectations and completed the work on the new 25,000-square-foot office and 77,100-square-foot warehouse. “Our investment in Columbus has always been about building for the future,” G&J Pepsi CEO, Tim Trant said. “By expanding our facilities, embracing innovation and investing in our people, we’re strengthening our ability to serve customers, support our associates and grow alongside the community that has helped make our success possible. This campus positions us for continued growth and opportunity for years to come.” The large budget invested more than $17 million in new production equipment, packaging technology and autonomous material handling systems all of which help to reinforce Columbus’ role as a key hub in G&J Pepsi’s regional network. G&J Pepsi has operated in Columbus for more than 60 years, producing and distributing over 50,000 cases per day. Autonomous industrial vehicles are part of the new innovations at the facility, designed to move materials throughout the warehouse. The change aims to improve safety and efficiency while supporting employees as production volumes grow. Columbus Mayor Andrew J. Ginther, who says his favorite Pepsi product is Diet Pepsi, attended the ribbon cutting ceremony for the new facilities. “G&J Pepsi has been part of the fabric of Columbus for generations, and this investment shows the company is committed to growing here for generations to come,” he said in a statement. “Their continued investment in jobs, innovation and one of our historic neighborhoods reflects exactly the kind of long-term partnership that strengthens our city."
