GOODYEAR, ARIZ.  — Factor has opened a-300,100 square-foot facility in Goodyear to scale its brand. The facility will serve as an industrial kitchen for the company.

The ready-to-eat, meal delivery service brand will employ over 800 employees who will cook meals from scratch, prepare, and fulfill customer orders at the new facility. The facility will be supplied with automated technology as well as sustainable operations, such as CO₂ refrigeration.
