TWIN FALLS, Idaho, Aug. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Homestyle Direct, a national leader in home-delivered medically tailored meals, today announced it has secured 35,000 square feet of new freezer space in Lebanon, Tennessee — a move that significantly increases the company's total freezer capacity to accommodate growth. The new facility has the capacity to store millions of meals, a critical step in Homestyle Direct's mission to ensure its members receive the nutritious food they need, when they need it.
With the company on track to deliver more than 11 million meals this year, reliable cold-storage infrastructure is essential. The Lebanon facility strengthens Homestyle Direct's ability to serve members across the 34 states in which it currently operates, maintaining consistent availability of its full menu of 35 unique meal options and seasonal specials — including the popular herbed salmon dish currently available.
- "Our members count on us — not just today, but into the future," said Jeff Barteau, Chief Executive Officer of Homestyle Direct. "This expansion in Lebanon is about more than square footage. It is a commitment to being prepared to continue serving the people who depend on us for nutritionally sound meals delivered directly to their doors. As we see demand for our services continue to grow, having the capacity to meet that demand is not optional — it is essential to our mission."
Homestyle Direct serves members who face some of the most persistent barriers to good nutrition. Millions of Americans live in food deserts — communities where reliable access to healthy food is miles away. Many members also manage chronic conditions such as diabetes and hypertension, for which consistent access to appropriate, dietitian-designed meals can be the difference between stability and a preventable health crisis.
The Lebanon freezer facility addresses this challenge directly. With the ability to stock up to one million meals across its full 35-meal menu, Homestyle Direct can better buffer against supply chain variability, maintain consistent availability for members, and scale its operations to reach more individuals who qualify for medically tailored meal benefits through their Medicaid or Medicare Advantage plans.
Tennessee's central location and proximity to major logistics hubs have made it a strategic anchor for Homestyle Direct's national operations. The new Lebanon facility complements the company's existing fulfillment center in Lewisburg, deepening its footprint in the state and further positioning Homestyle Direct to grow its reach in the years ahead.
