ORLANDO, Fla. —
“PepsiCo Foods U.S. on Tuesday announced it is closing its manufacturing and warehouse operations at its Orlando Frito-Layplant.
Nearly 500 people will be laid off as part of the closure.”
Orlando Frito-Lay plant to close
Truck owner op for Landstar that rents the space next to me had a contract with Frito Lay for at least the 3.5 years I’ve known him. Ran Orlando to Miami every week day.
Been wondering why he hasn’t moved in over a month or hooked up to a Landstar trailer anymore…now I know why.

Pepsi has shut down quite a few locations in the past few years. Talked to a guy who worked in Chicago location for 30 years. He had to transfer to another branch which was quite a drive for him every day. Seemed like they had decent benefits and pay for folks who worked there for a while.mjd4277, Flat Earth Trucker and Concorde Thank this.

Nobody wants to pay $5 for a bag of chips. Colas are crazy expensive too.
buzzarddriver and Diesel Dave Thank this. -
People are becoming more ‘health conscious’ especially on what they eat, and drink. I will admit, I will occasionally have a soda, maybe 1 per week. Nothing like years ago, I would have a couple every day. As for chips and such, also it’s just occasionally, if I do get a desire, it’s either Pringles ‘Low Salt’ or some unsalted pretzels.
mjd4277, Diesel Dave and JB7 Thank this.
