Sabra
White Plains
Sabra Dipping Company was founded in Queens back in 1968. The company, which sells Middle Eastern-style and other food products, including hummus and guacamole, was acquired by PepsiCo in November 2024. It chose to relocate its headquarters to White Plains because of a competitive package offered by the county. Its hummus is made in Chesterfield County, Virginia, and the guacamole is made in Mexico. The headquarters operate out of a 30,000-square-foot leased space, and the company is expected to generate 32 new, local, full-time positions over the next four years.
