PepsiCo is shutting down two Frito-Lay facilities in Orlando, Florida, resulting in 500 job losses as the company grapples with declining snack sales. A manufacturing plant and onsite warehouse were closed on November 4, affecting 454 employees, while an off-site warehouse will cease operations in May 2026. PepsiCo emphasized the difficulty of this decision but committed to supporting affected employees with transition assistance. The snack division has seen a decrease in sales due to changing consumer preferences and economic factors, prompting the company to adapt its products and offerings.
