USA TODAY reports that downsizing at various Kelloggs facilities across the country could put 1,110 Americans out of work.
Kelloggs spokesperson Kris Charles said the cereal giant will shift away from direct delivery of its foods to stores, and will instead utilize grocers distribution centers. The move will shutter 39 Kelloggs distribution centers from Maryland to Ohio to New York.
While this is the right move for the company to achieve our long-term objectives, it was a difficult decision because of its impact on employees, company spokesperson Kris Charles said, according to CNYCentral.
Charles says each site outfits roughly 30 full-time employees, which means the company could lay off as many as 1,170 workers.
The closures will not have a sizable impact on any one community, Charles added.
The move is part of the Michigan-based companys cost-cutting initiative, Project K, launched in 2013. Kelloggs reported a loss of $53 million in the fourth quarter, CNBC reports.

No.
Hope so. I moved to General Mills and Post for cereal.
Gee, could it be?
People are eating less of their sugar laden cereals and going for hand held meals they can eat with their coffee on the way to work.
I think dry cereal consumption has been on a downward trajectory already. Many of the younger people can’t be bothered to make a themselves a bowl of cereal in the morning. I know. It sounds rather lazy. I may be missing something though. Granola Bars, on the other hand are increasing in popularity. Just pull the foil wrapper off, and chomp down! No dishes to wash, no milk or sugar to purchase.
It feels good to see all the intolerant leftist companies that hate Americans and celebrate homosexual perversity with our children and grandchildren go under or lose their shirts. Why are they even located in America if they hate it so much?
Right. People are moving away from refined flour and sugar for breakfast. 2 of the worst things, and the combo? For breakfast? For kids?
I'm sure that many are finding other sources of carbohydrates (and limiting those), and this is what is affecting Kellogg's.
Oh the sugar is already in the granola bars big time!
It’s been a couple of years at least since I had a bowl of any cereal.
I love my milk though. It was the choice beverage of Barnaby Jones.
Yep. Americans' preference for cereal certainly isn't what it was three or four decades ago.
There are Luna Snack Bars that come in various flavors.
However, some say if you are a man, you should ‘be careful’ eating a lot of these over a long period of time, because the bars are meant for women. The product page says ‘there is no truth to the rumor that Luna Bars will cause a man to grow breasts. They contain no estrogen or other hormones!”
I agree. The public is getting educated via food blogs and health sites like Dr. Axe. https://draxe.com/
Plus, many have developed diabetes and immune deficiency diseases via refined sugar and grain products and are forced to watch their diets.
Same here.
Kelloggs’ funding of certain political groups has turned me off from their products.
Business should stick to business....
just as Reba McIntyre said yesterday (she’s a famous singer), she will not use her performances to try forcing or voicing her political views....she says people pay to hear her sing NOT preach politics
corporation goons should stick to enhancing shareholder wealth, improving products and services, etc.
At one time I loved Special K, Product 19, Total, and the round Cap’n Crunches more than most foods.
I switched to Malt-o-Meal on a tip from a Freeper.
Better cereal at a better price.
