GEORGE’S INC. has been part of the city’s heritage for nearly a century and
is continuing to help Springdale grow. What first started as a general store
has grown into one of the nation’s leading poultry processors with 4,700
employees in three states. George’s processes more than five million chickens
each week, and you’ll find its products in stores and restaurants around the
country. Many employees got their start on the production lines and moved
up. In addition to production team members, George’s needs people who
can keep all the high-tech equipment at its plants up and running.
That’s what Shane Hall does. He’s an ammonia refrigeration technician. “We
keep things cold,” he laughs. In some cases, that means really cold. “Our
freezers have to be between -40 to -60 degrees.”
