Another Coca-Cola plant suddenly closes as jobs continue to flee the US

Coca-Cola just keeps shrinking.

It’s put workers through a rash of closings nationwide, including a particularly heartbreaking loss in California earlier this summer…

And unfortunately, the pain isn’t over yet.

More specifically, Reyes Coca-Cola Bottling (one of the outside groups Coca-Cola contracts with to do bottling for the company) just closed down a distribution facility in Salinas, California, with around 80 jobs impacted.

It all ties back to Coca-Cola’s “asset right” strategy which has seen the company reducing its footprint in bottle manufacturing and broader distribution.

And of course – with the shifting beverage landscape (Gen Z in particular is opting for healthier beverages and away from soda), there may be more pain to come.

And given how many plants Coca-Cola still operates or contracts with – you have to wonder who’s next.
