Memphis-based Monogram Foods is moving its headquarters to Crosstown Concourse. 

The company will move from the Oak Court Office Building to Crosstown in spring 2025 and plans to occupy the sixth-floor space where Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare formerly was.

Monogram Foods CEO Karl Schledwitz said his team of more than 150 local employees had outgrown the Oak Court space and were occupying offices on four floors of the building. With the upcoming end of the company’s current lease, he said he has been searching for new space for the past two years. 

“One of the unique advantages is having everybody on one floor,” Schledwitz said. “We’re all sharing the same break rooms and copiers; it will allow for more camaraderie or a collaborative setting.” 

Schledwitz said they found a “unicorn” in Crosstown Concourse because it is a space that will fit all the local employees and allow the team to grow.

“It’s filled with all kinds of different amenities and diversity and convenience for the employees, free parking and it’s safe and secure,” Schledwitz said. 

Monogram manufactures food products and, according to the company, employs more than 4,000 employees at 13 facilities in seven states.

Schledwitz also said the move will help the company attract top talent. He hopes to expand the local workforce to more than 200 employees.

Oak Court was sold weeks ago on courthouse steps — now what?

Monogram Foods hired LRK Architects to complete a fit study and is planning to send out a bid in a couple of weeks to pick a contractor. Schledwitz said they are modifying the space but “not overhauling it.” 

The renovation process is expected to take seven months and the company could move in by late spring 2025. 

“We’re a Memphis-centric company, and we weren’t going to leave Memphis,” Schledwitz said.
