After more than a century, Ventura is set to lose one of its oldest businesses.
Reyes Coca-Cola Bottling announced on May 8 in a WARN notice that it will shut down its Ventura plant permanently on July 10.
The closure will impact 85 employees.
“We regularly assess our locations, products and services to ensure we can continue driving sustainable growth and innovation across our business,” a spokesperson for Reyes Coca-Cola Bottling wrote SFGATE via email Tuesday. “As such, we have announced the closure of our Ventura Distribution Center and the transfer of operations to our other Southern California facilities.”
