No Chips in Rancho Any More

I have not lived in the Inland Empire as long as my in laws have, but I recognize the gravity of this announcement all the same. From KTLA:

“A Frito-Lay manufacturing plant in Rancho Cucamonga has stopped production after more than 50 years in operation, and potentially hundreds of workers are now looking for new jobs.

“On Monday, a spokesperson for PepsiCo Foods U.S., the parent company of Frito-Lay, confirmed that manufacturing operations at the Rancho Cucamonga facility have ended.”

The facility will not close entirely. Warehouse and distribution/fleet/transportation operations will continue.

In (hopefully) happier news, we are less than two hours away from the Graber announcement.
