New massive layoffs in Texas are affecting thousands of workers prior to the holidays according to the latest WARN data.

Under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, an employer with more than 100 full-time workers must provide a 60-day notice before laying off 50 or more people at a single site.

“Iconic food delivery company Yelloh, known for its distinctive bright yellow trucks, has announced job cuts in Texas as it ceases operations in the state,” reports Ash Jurberg.

The company released the following statement:

“Cygnus Home Service, LLC, d/b/a Yelloh is closing the following facilities and ceasing operations in the State of Texas, effective December 15, 2023… Each employee will be paid through December 26, 2023.”

The facilities closing are in Houston, Abilene, Alvin, Conroe, Lubbock, Mt Pleasant, Nacogdoches, Odessa, Pampa, Round Rock, San Angelo, Schertz, Sherman, and Waco.

So far in 2023, Texas has laid off 19,797 across 182 companies.

However, California remains the #1 state with the most layoffs in the country.

In second place is Colorado, followed by Illinois, Texas, Washington, New York, New Jersey, Florida, Michigan, and Georgia.

A Massive retailer is now opening 117 new stores representing over half a billion dollars in capital investments across 30 states.

Walmart on Friday will celebrate the grand reopening of 117 stores and invest more than $9 billion over two years to modernize over 1,400 stores across the U.S.

The retailer said it has revamped the stores with better layouts, wider product selections and various technological improvements as part of its “Signature Experience” initiative, which aims to enhance the shopping experience for customers.

“Among the improvements the retailer has made to its stores are interactive corner displays, larger pharmacies, rooms for nursing parents, QR codes and digital screens with helpful information for shoppers and a Dollar Shop at store entrances with seasonal products,” reports Retail Dive.

Friday is the largest single-day rollout of re-grand openings in company history.

Other store enhancements include larger online grocery pickup and delivery areas and a new grab-and-go section for quick meal and drink options.

Stores also have refreshed exteriors and interiors, more shopping carts and a new checkout design that was based on customer feedback.

In February, Walmart announced plans to shutter two stores in Arkansas and Illinois that only served pickup and delivery orders.

That month, Chief Financial Officer John Rainey said during a fourth quarter earnings call that Walmart’s store-fulfilled deliveries nearly tripled over the past two years.

“With nearly 90% of the U.S. population living within 10 miles of a Walmart, we understand how important our local stores are to customers and communities, and these construction investments allow us to create more local jobs and make it easier for our associates to get customers what they want, when they want it,” CEO John Furner said in a statement about the reopenings.
