Bumble Bee Seafoods Moves Corporate Headquarters

Bumble Bee Seafoods, North America’s premium seafood company, is moving back to downtown San Diego after 12 years on Granite Ridge Drive in Kearny Mesa.

The brand first purchased a canning facility on the San Diego waterfront over 30 years ago, and is getting back to its roots with a move to the historic Showley Bros. Candy Factory in the East Village.

CEO Chris Lischewski.

“We are very excited about the move of Bumble Bee’s corporate headquarters back to downtown San Diego,” said Bumble Bee President and CEO, Chris Lischewski.

“We pride ourselves on being an active member of the local community where we have so much company history, and this move allows us to do that in even bigger and better ways.”

Bumble Bee has been working closely with the San Diego Historical Society during the remodeling of its new headquarters to ensure the exterior of the building remains untouched from its restored state.

In keeping with its rich manufacturing history, the openness of the building has been preserved, showcasing exposed brick walls, open barrel vaulted ceilings, and visible pipes and mechanical equipment, while also incorporating energy-efficient lighting and office equipment among other elements in pursuit of LEED Silver Certification for commercial interiors.

Guests will find unique touches throughout the new headquarters including conference room furniture constructed out of distressed wood and recycled equipment from its tuna canneries, recycled fishing net carpeting, and authentic photos depicting the rich histories of both Bumble Bee Seafoods and the Showley Bros. Candy Factory.
