RANCHO CUCAMONGA - Frito-Lay, the snack company that makes Doritos and Cheetos, is laying off 247 employees and closing its facility in Rancho Cucamonga, the company confirmed Friday.

The vast warehouse will shut down in June.

The plant has been a major employer in San Bernardino County’s West End since opening in 1970, staffing thousands over its 55-year run.


The Plano, Texas-based snack maker filed a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification, or WARN notice, on Feb. 10.


“We will be shifting these operations to a new distribution center in the local community to better serve our customers and consumers,” the company said in a statement to The Los Angeles Times. “We are committed to treating impacted employees with the utmost care.”

Frito-Lay, owned by PepsiCo Foods, said the affected employees will be given pay and benefits continuation as well as career support.
