East Brunswick Food Manufacturer Proposes To Build Storage Silos

EAST BRUNSWICK, NJ — A food manufacturer located in East Brunswick plans to build two outdoor storage silos.

Jimmy’s Gourmet Baker LLC recently applied to the township’s Planning Board, seeking minor site plan approval for constructing two outdoor silos and a concrete pad.

These silos would be 40 feet and 11 inches tall and will be used for storage of flour and sugar. At the highest point, the silos will measure 49 feet and 11 inches in height, which is within the permitted height in the zone.

The current food manufacturing facility is located at 3 Brick Plant Road, Block 824, Lot 34.03 in the Industrial and Manufacturing Zone.

The area of the entire tact is 7,093. According to the application, no new variance is required.

According to Jimmy’s Gourmet Baker LLC, they currently receive their flour and sugar in individual, 50-pound bags delivered on pallets. With the proposed silos, the manufacturer will be able to store the items in bulk, thus improving operations and efficiency at the facility.

Headquartered in Clifton, NJ, Jimmy’s was founded in 1997 in Manhattan. Today they occupy a modern 90,000 square feet baking facility located in Clifton.

They produce cookies and cookie dough for businesses.

The Planning Board is expected to hear the application on Wednesday. For application documents, click here.
