Food processing giant JBS USA acquired an idled food production facility in Ankeny for $40 million, Polk County real estate records show.

The 12-acre site at 4150 S.E. Delaware Ave. had been owned by Hy-Vee Inc. subsidiary Perishable Distributors of Iowa LTD. JBS announced in mid-August that it would invest $100 million to buy and upgrade the facility so that it can be used to make ready-to-eat bacon and ready-to-eat sausage.

Hy-Vee opened the facility in 2018 to produce grab-and-go items for its stores. The Fresh Commissary in Ankeny produced sandwiches, salads, bakery items and take-and-bake pizzas. Hy-Vee shuttered the facility in June.

Construction of the facility began in 2017. It includes 10 dock doors and four drive-in doors. The property is valued at $26.1 million.

JBS USA is headquartered in Greeley, Colo. Officials have said the Ankeny facility is expected to be operational by mid-2026.
