Proctor and Gamble Detergents

I knew this plant made lots of the dry detergent but now making the pods too. Have driven past this plant many times when I lived in New Orleans driving to Shreveport. I would really like to have a tour of this plant now.

Pineville, while almost adjacent to Alexandria is still kind of out in the middle of nowhere.

The plant is only a few miles from I 49 which connects Pineville/Alexandria with I 10 on the South an I 20 in Shreveport I 30 in Texarkana. Then when I 49 is completed in Arkansas will connect to I 40 then I 44 in Joplin on up to Kansas City and will connect with I 35 and I 70. So really a good route to all the lower 48.

Three cheers to a corporation that is expanding, rather than closing, a manufacturing plant; and this one makes Tide Pods, to boot---a format with which I'm becoming increasingly fond.

Hope you're able to tour the plant, Charles, and if you do, take plenty of snaps to share with us. I'm especially curious about how pods are manufactured.

It is a huge plant and if you Google earth it at 3701 Monroe Hwy Pineville, LA you can see it and also the big Plastipak plant next to it. Big Walmart on the right then the P $ G plant and on left is the Plastipak plant.
