CALABASAS HILLS, CA — Cheesecake Factory Inc. announced its acquisition of 37 acres in Charlestown, IN, where the company intends to develop a third bakery facility.
This location will support the production of the brand’s cheesecakes and bakery products for its restaurants as well as foodservice wholesalers, retailers and distributors. The Charlestown facility will also provide distribution efficiencies.
“We are very pleased to locate our new bakery production facility in Charlestown, Indiana,” said David Overton, founder, board chair and CEO of Cheesecake Factory Inc. “This year is the 51st anniversary of my parents opening the first Cheesecake Factory bakery, and it also marks the 45th anniversary of opening our first restaurant in Beverly Hills. Over the last half-century, our desserts have developed a reputation around the world, and we are so pleased that we’ll have a third bakery production facility to support our domestic and international growth into the future.”
Cheesecake Factory worked with River Ridge Development Authority to complete the land acquisition for the future location and will continue the partnership into the upcoming phases of the project in 2024.
“This commitment by The Cheesecake Factory to bring its bakery production facility to River Ridge is a major moment for the commerce center and exemplifies the investment and rapid growth we’re creating on the Charlestown side of River Ridge,” said Jerry Acy, executive director of River Ridge Development Authority. “It is truly a pleasure working with David Overton and his team at The Cheesecake Factory, and I am proud of what this partnership brings to Southern Indiana and the region.”
