LANCASTER, Pa., July 5, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Turkey Hill LLC ("Turkey Hill" or the "Company"), a leading manufacturer and distributor of branded ice cream and refrigerated drinks, today announced that it will support recent and continued growth through investments in its manufacturing operations and an increase in new hiring efforts.

Turkey Hill was acquired by an affiliate of Peak Rock Capital from The Kroger Co. in April 2019.  Now a standalone company, Turkey Hill is strategically focused on geographic expansion and new product innovation to support increasing consumer demand.

"Turkey Hill is experiencing strong and growing consumer demand nationwide for its broad assortment of branded ice cream and refrigerated drinks.  We as a company are focused on providing our consumers with high quality, authentic products with category-leading flavor variety," said John Cox, CEO of Turkey Hill.
