I found this blurb in an article I was reading on Yahoo today:

Enormous growth persuaded the popular yogurt-maker Chobani to open a plant out West. It plans to break ground in December on a $100 million manufacturing facility in Twin Falls, Idaho and hire 400 workers in 2012.

The company, which opened in 2007 with five employees, now has about 1,000 workers at its plant in upstate New York. Sales are expected to reach $700 million this year, up from $300 million in 2010. "We can't wait for the economy to be right to invest," says company founder Hamdi Ulukaya. "We would lose two years."

Awesome post I have an interview with them next week. Twin Falls needed them sooooo much and so do I. Please pray they like me as much as I like them.
