Sabra Dipping Company, LLC, is making Chesterfield, Virginia, its home and expanding it a whopping 40,000 feet (its fourth expansion to date), all to get hummus into the hands of consumers faster.
“When Sabra joined our community in 2010, we were so pleased that the brand synonymous with hummus chose Chesterfield County as a place to grow,” said Dorothy Jaeckle, District Supervisor of Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors in a released statement.
This newest expansion will make it the world’s largest hummus plant and it will more than double Sabra’s production rate. Buckle up, everybody. There’s about to be a whole lot more hummus in your local grocery stores.
Sabra’s been at the top for a while, nabbing a 60% market share in America with their offerings of twelve kinds of hummus along with their seasonal varieties.
Hummus has come a long way from being a rare, exotic dip to being the food staple and economic success that it currently is. It isn’t a sandwich without a little hummus in it, right?

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning journalism this Passover.
In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.
At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.
Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we need 500 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.
