Loblaw’s is closing its Halifax Distribution Centre, putting more than 100 jobs on the line.
The company that runs Atlantic Superstores has two distribution centres in Lakeside. The one at 12 Dominion Crescent is 25 per cent smaller than the other, and that’s the one that’s closing.
Loblaw PR Vice-President Julija Hunter says the company is trying to simplify its system.
“Upon careful consideration over our overall Atlantic Regional distribution centre network, we have announced today that we are closing our Halifax Distrbution Centre,” says Hunter. “And that’ll be closed effective October 9, 2010.”
The company says 115 people work at the centre to be closed, and it’ll work with the union and employees to see if jobs can be found elsewhere in the network.
