Grocery chain Safeway, Inc., part of Albertsons Companies, Inc., will close its bread manufacturing plant in Richmond, California by the end of the year.
The closure will affect 92 employees, according to California’s most recent Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) list. The facility opened in 1965, the Richmond Standard reports.
A Safeway spokesperson told the Richmond Standard that the company would identify new opportunities for a select number of affected employees.
“We recognize the impact this decision has on our associates and are committed to supporting them through the transition,” the spokesperson said.
