Our Home to close Vegas facility, impacting 61 employees
The company announced via WARN it will be shuttering its plant on August 25.
Snackmaker Our Home announced via Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) that it will be closing its Las Vegas facility, located at 4780 N. Lamb Blvd, on August 25. The company owns BFY brand RW Garcia, as well as PopSecret popcorn, From the Ground Up, ParmCrisps, and more.
Affected workers will be laid off on the same date, with the exception of one plant manager position listed with a possible layoff date of December 31, according to Fox5Vegas.
The news outlet noted that the WARN notice included a breakdown of job titles affected, including: packers (12), packaging machine operators (6), maintenance technicians (5), processing support operators (5), boxers (4), material handlers (4) and sheeter operators (4), among others. Other roles listed included quality assurance, production supervision and supply chain jobs.
Our Home did not provide a reason for the shutdown in its letter dated June 26 to the Nevada Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation, reports the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
The facility initially opened over a decade ago under organic corn chip and cracker manufacturer RW Garcia, notes The Nevada Globe, and the brand was acquired by Utz Brands in 2021, before being sold again three years later to Our Home.
SF&WB reached out to Our Home for comment, but at this time, they are not commenting on the story, a rep says.
