Goolsby’s, Bob Evans not affiliated

By CHARLES W. JOHNSON / News Editor for the Southern Standard

Goolsby’s Farm Sausage Co., a successful regional meat packing company, is planning an expansion in Warren County, but is not, as was reported in an earlier story in the Southern Standard, affiliated in any way with Bob Evans Farm Sausage.

“We sell sausage in eight states,” said owner James Goolsby, “Texas, Ohio, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee.”

Goolsby said once everything is in place, the company, which currently is slated to be located on Finger Bluff Road in the Morrison area, should be in operation within nine months to a year.

“We’re looking forward to expanding into Warren County,” he said. “We’re planning on employing 50 to 60 people when it’s up and running full steam.”

The company packages a popular line of premium country sausage and marinated pork loin which is marketed regionally under it’s own name brand label.

Goolsby’s will be a significant employer in the area and promises to be part of the new economic growth in the county in conjunction with companies like WastAway and Morrison Tool & Fab which have also been expanding operations locally.
