Sept. 19. Chick-fil-A Supply, the distribution service provider for Chick-fil-A restaurants, will establish distribution center in the Lakeshore Corporate Park in the Rowan County portion of Kannapolis.

The $58.3 million plant will generate 112 new jobs over the next five years with 85 of those jobs occurring in the first two years.

Lakeshore Corporate Park, developed by Fortius Capital Partners, is on the site of the old Kannapolis Intimidators baseball team. The new Chick-fil-A Supply distribution center will occupy a 126,000-square-foot building, one of three spec buildings that Fortius has built on the site.
