HOLLY POND, Ala. (AP) — The VF Jeanswear distribution center in Holly Pond is shutting down after more than 25 years of operation.
The company, part of VF Corp. of Greensboro, says the shutdown is related to its need to balance its distribution and supply capacity and to keep its product costs competitive. About 150 jobs will be lost.
The 100,000-square-foot distribution center once employed close to 300 people.
The company says employees at the center will be offered a combination of severance pay, outplacement help or other assistance.
VF Jeanswear includes Wrangler, Lee and other brands.
