Road to Growth and Development In “Show Me City”

In recognition of Ben E. Keith, a major distributor of food service and beverage products, building a headquarters division on an 82-acre site in Missouri City, Council Members recently voted to rename Beltway Crossing as Ben E. Keith Way. When completed, the company will be the City’s largest employer. Ben E. Keith plans to begin shipping its products from the new warehouse and other buildings in early 2013, and will serve southeast Texas and Louisiana.
