Jessica and her company, Lincoln Premium Poultry has been working with Costco. Costco Wholesale Corp. has worked since Spring of 2017 to get approval and build a $180 million poultry processing plant near Fremont, Nebraska, that would process roughly 1.6 million birds a week. The facility would cater to Costco stores, which sell rotisserie chickens that are popular with customers.
Costco will own the processing plant, and all of the product will go to Costco stores. Jessica's company, Lincoln Premium Poultry LLC, will run the actual poultry production side of the operation, To keep operating, the processing plant will need roughly 404 barns built in the local area that would each raise about 43,000 birds per barn for each flock delivered. That would include 332 broiler barns, 24 pullet barns and 48 breeder barns.
