Project Joy is a new 400,000-square-foot beverage distribution facility for Clark Beverage Group. The company, headquartered in Kentucky, has relocated their Jackson, Mississippi operations to this Madison County ‘mega site’ near a new Amazon Fulfillment Center development.

This state-of-the-art facility consists of 32,000 feet of office space and meeting rooms, it houses all departments from sales to delivery to warehouse operations; including a fully automated case picking system called Vertique. The development also has 195-200 truck and trailer parking spots, 300 small vehicle parking spots, and 41 loading docks.

“This project will allow us to enhance our employees’ future careers as well as better serve our customers across Mississippi and neighboring states with our diverse portfolio of local, national, and international beverages”, says Clark Beverage
