"We are excited to work with our local partners in Nebraska and South Dakota to make Local Pride a full part of the Gordon community," Sholom Rubashkin, whose family owns Local Pride, said in a press release. "For us, this effort represents the best of all worlds: The Gordon plant is a great business opportunity that will allow us to better serve our customers who rely on us for kosher meat products prepared according to the tenets of our faith. And in Gordon, we have found a place this business can call home, where we can be part of a great community and join with our neighbors in making it even greater."
