Inside Campbell’s Snacks new $10M Charlotte offices, an homage to Lance crackers’ roots
Campbell’s Snacks employees began moving into their new office Thursday morning off South Boulevard, a space that pays homage to Lance crackers, one of Charlotte’s oldest and best-known brands.
The morning was overcast and rainy as the deliciously sweet scent of crackers and peanut butter wafted in the air from the manufacturing plant, adjacent to the newly renovated building that will house office employees.
Inside the office, named the Philip Lance Center, employees and company officials were celebrating the unveiling of the two-story, nearly 40,000-square-foot space.
The building is named for Philp L. Lance, who started the Lance Packing Co. in Charlotte in 1912.
The brand is known for its iconic bright orange cracker and peanut butter sandwiches.
In 2018, Campbell Soup Co., based in Camden, New Jersey, purchased the Charlotte snack maker Snyder’s-Lance for about $6.1 billion.
