123 yr old Reilly Foods Company moving from NOLA CBD to Elmwood

Reily Foods Co., a 123-year-old New Orleans company best known for brands that include Blue Plate Mayonnaise, French Market Coffee and Luzianne Iced Tea, is leaving its corporate headquarters in the Central Business District and moving to Elmwood, according to multiple sources familiar with the plans.

The move will affect the sales, marketing and back office employees of Reily Foods, whose offices are currently housed on the 10th floor of the former Texaco Building at 400 Poydras St., according to the building’s leasing agent, who was recently notified of the company’s plans to terminate its lease. The exact number of employees is unknown.

Company President and CEO William Boatner “Bo” Reily, IV was traveling and did not respond to a request for comment. But several company employees, who were not authorized to speak on behalf of the company, said Reily told employees of the plans at a recent company meeting where he expressed concerns about quality of life issues downtown.

A timeline for Reily Foods move has not been finalized. But a listing on the LACDB database of commercial property shows the company’s 22,500-square-foot office at 400 Poydras will be available by Oct. 1.
