Keurig Dr Pepper (KDP), a leading producer of hot and cold beverages, today announced the continued growth of its state-of-the-art, single serve coffee roasting and manufacturing operations in Spartanburg County. The $141 million investment will create 84 new jobs.
KDP’s new site, located at 3220 Moore Duncan Highway in Moore, will host production for the company’s next-generation K-Rounds, plastic-free coffee pods created from premium coffee beans that are ground, pressed and wrapped in a protective, plant-based coating.
KDP’s beverage portfolio consists of 125 iconic brands including carbonated and non-carbonated beverages such as Dr Pepper, Canada Dry, Mott’s, Snapple and Core Hydration, as well as the Keurig brewing system, with leading owned brands Green Mountain Coffee Roasters and The Original Donut Shop. The company’s existing Spartanburg County facility, which broke ground in 2019 with continued development announced in October 2023, produces K-Cup pods and currently employs approximately 285 people, with additional hiring underway. Individuals interested in joining the KDP team should visit the company’s careers page.
The Coordinating Council for Economic Development approved job development credits related to the project. The council also awarded a $450,000 Set-Aside grant to Spartanburg County to assist with the costs of building improvements.
