12 November, Lawrence MA – The Muffintown facility has neighbored PAR’s Lawrence Yard since acquiring the 309 Andover St. facility in 2010, but had never utilized rail service there. Rail deliveries of flour and sugar are expected to save the company tens of thousands of dollars per year and facilitate strategic growth, according to JSB VP-Operations, Scott Anderson {phone conversation with SA, 12.Nov.2019}.

JSB expects to receive 7-8 cars per month of cake flour, whole wheat four, and sugar. Other ingredients may eventually also arrive by rail. The cars will be unloaded along a new 16,000 sq-ft facility, that can serve 3 cars at a time. PAR will drill the site on-call.
JSB produces several popular lines of packaged baked goods for sale on grocery shelves throughout the region and nationwide. The company was founded in Chelsea, Mass. in 1978. Both locations are production facilities.
