School food in parts of Northern and Central California is going to get delivered more quickly and, thus, be a lot fresher because a Southern California firm officially expanded its operations, opening an airplane hangar-sized distribution center Friday in Dixon.

With some minimal fanfare and tours for invited guests in the morning, leaders of Gold Star Foods Inc., based in Ontario, opened a nearly 200,000-square-foot facility on Vaughn Road, bringing 90 local jobs to the area and providing some 300 school districts with greater access to fresh, wholesome and more locally grown foods, noted CEO Sean Leer.
