McDonald’s coming to TigerTown

devLee — Thu, 24 Mar 2011 17:40:32 +0000

Opelika residents with a craving for burgers and french fries will soon have a new way to satisfy their fast food desires with the arrival of a new McDonald’s in Opelika and the possibility of Bojangles’ franchises in Auburn, Opelika and Smiths Station.

Dolly Marshall plans to open a new McDonald’s franchise in TigerTown by the loading docks of Office Depot.

“We’ve been looking into this for sometime,” she said.

Groundbreaking on the fast-food restaurant will be next week. Marshall said she hopes to have her latest franchise open by the end of June. “Things are moving very quickly,” she said.

The TigerTown McDonald’s location will be Marshall’s seventh. She also owns restaurants in Auburn, Opelika and Tuskegee.

Marshall said she believes there is a good amount of traffic in TigerTown, which she hopes will bring in customers.

New Waffle House in Tigertown

devLee — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 17:25:21 +0000

The new Waffle House in Tigertown is coming together. Construction seems to be complete but I have no opening date at this time. There is speculation that it replaced the proposed Waffle House that was to inhabit the old Daylight Dounuts on Glenn but that has not been confirmed.

Kull Die Casting Technology North America, Inc. to locate first North American operation in Auburn

devLee — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 17:04:23 +0000

German based company to start US production in spring 2009

Auburn, Ala. – German-based Robert Kull GmbH has announced its decision to locate a manufacturing operation in Auburn. Kull Die Casting Technology North America, Inc. will sublease space from Aluminum Technology Schmid North America, Inc. Schmid currently occupies a facility in the Auburn Industrial Park and will hold a groundbreaking for its new facility Auburn Technology Park West Tuesday, July 29 at 11 a.m. Following completion of its new building, Schmid will sublease a portion of the future facility to Kull. Initially, Kull will create a $1.5 million capital investment and employ five people in its first year of operation in Auburn.

Robert Kull GmbH, parent company of Kull’s Auburn location, was originally founded in 1936 in the City of Stuttgart, Germany. Destroyed in WWII, the factory was rebuilt outside Stuttgart in Remshalden and the company continued its long-standing tradition of excellence in die casting. The company originally gained notoriety for its Spaetzlepress, a hand-operated pasta press used to make Swabian Spaetzle. Today, the company’s business focuses primarily on automotive uses, employing 35 people at its headquarters in Germany.

“We are extremely grateful for the sublease arrangement with Schmid and the support we received from the team at the City of Auburn. Because of the relative small size of our company, our new US venture would not have been possible without the cooperation of Schmid and the City,” commented Andreas Huebner, President and Owner of Robert Kull GmbH. “We look forward to locating in Auburn and enjoying its many traditions, including Auburn football.”

Commenting on the announcement, Mayor Bill Ham, Jr. said, “We are extremely pleased with Kull’s decision to locate in Auburn. Not only will they provide support to one of our existing industries, but we look forward to seeing Kull grow their business in the US market and possibly expand in Auburn in the future.”

For more information, please contact the City of Auburn Economic Development Department at (334) 501-7270.

Selzer Automotive, LP to Locate in Auburn Technology Park

devLee — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 20:13:04 +0000

Selzer Automotive, LP announced plans to locate its first North American based facility in Auburn at The Alabama-Germany Partnership 10th Anniversary Celebration held in Huntsville on Thursday, April 24. The new facility will be located in Auburn Technology Park West, located off of Beehive Road, Auburn, AL. Initially, the company will bring a $22 million capital investment to the Auburn economy and create 80 new jobs. Selzer is the first US venture for Germany-based Selzer Fertigungstechnik GmbH & Co. KG, parent company of Selzer Automotive, LP.

Governor Bob Riley was joined by Auburn Mayor Bill Ham, Jr. and company officials to make the announcement at the event Thursday night in Huntsville.
“Alabama is making such tremendous strides, and this announcement helps us continue our progress,” said Governor Riley. “Selzer is a world-class company joining the ranks of 57 other German-based manufacturers that have located in Alabama. This company could’ve gone virtually anywhere in the nation, but they chose Alabama and we are proud to be their partner in bringing more economic opportunities to our citizens.”

Selzer has been a renowned name in precision engineering for more than 80 years, developing and manufacturing metal components and subassemblies for gearboxes, engines, braking systems, and professional electrical power tools. Based out of Driedorf-Roth, Germany, Selzer employs more than 600 people at its German and Brazilian locations and is one of the foremost suppliers for the automotive and electrical power tool industries.

In its first phase of production, the Auburn location will produce and assemble transmission components for a dual-clutch system for the US-based automotive industry. Dual-clutch systems improve driving performance and provide better gas mileage than traditional clutch systems.

“After an extensive search and site selection process involving 27 locations in 7 states throughout the Southeast, we are pleased to announce the location of our first US facility in Auburn, AL,” said Hans-Joachim Selzer, Authorized Signatory of the Selzer Companies.

Mayor Bill Ham, Jr. commented, “On behalf of the citizens of Auburn, I would like to welcome Selzer to their new home in Auburn Technology Park West. At a time when many cities nationwide are losing industry, we are fortunate to be able to announce the location of a new business with such a significant capital investment and job creation. Over the last several months, we have enjoyed getting to know the Selzer family during the recruitment process and we look forward to welcoming them to Auburn.”

Construction of Selzer’s new facility will begin in summer 2008. Company officials are currently utilizing the Auburn Center for Developing Industries (ACDI), located at 1500 Pumphrey Avenue in Auburn, until their permanent facility is complete. For more information on Selzer please visit www.selzer-automotive.com or contact the City of Auburn Economic Development Department at (334) 501-7270.
