The Little Potato Company strengthens Alberta roots

Construction is underway on our state-of-the-art potato packaging facility and new Canadian head office. The Little Potato Company and Leduc County representatives celebrated the start of construction on a more than 200,000 sq. ft. packaging facility and head office.

The upwards of CAD 25 million (about USD 19.4 million) investment will allow the local family business to expand the production of its renowned creamer potatoes.

Angela Santiago, CEO of The Little Potato Company:
 

"This is a significant step for The Little Potato Company, which my Dad and I founded together in Edmonton more than 25 years ago."

"With the incredible support of our community, we are honoured to continue to grow our business here and provide a fresh, nutritious food to families across North America."

Construction officially kicked off in April, supporting dozens of jobs in the region.

Tanni Doblanko, Mayor of Leduc County:
 

"On behalf of Leduc County, it’s my pleasure to welcome The Little Potato Company to the Nisku Business Park."

"Leduc County is home to a rapidly growing food processing sector, and The Little Potato Company is a perfect example of how industry and agriculture can come together and succeed."

"The County views The Little Potato Company as a flagship for value-added agriculture in the region, and we know our location and business-friendly processes will help in the continued success of the company."

Construction of the facility is expected to be complete early next year, with operations scheduled to begin in May 2023.
