Two more businesses now warn of unexpected layoffs in Ohio adding to the list of upcoming job cuts in the state this year.

It’s important to note that the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act requires an employer with more than 100 full-time workers to provide a 60-day notice before laying off 50 or more people at a single site.

On Monday, two businesses filed notices with the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services.

Arlington Contact Lens Services has announced that it will be laying off a total of 151 staff in Columbus, Ohio.

The company made the following statement:

“We are writing to give you notice that on August 3, 2024, there will be a total closure of the Arlington Contact Lens Service, Inc. operations, including its distribution center located at 2250 International St. Columbus, OH 43228, on August 3, 2024.

All employees will be impacted. This closure is expected to be permanent. The expected date of the first separation will be June 28, 2024.”

Bon Appetit also announced that a total of 222 employees would be laid off due to losing a contract.

“Bon Appetit recently learned that its contract to provide food services to Denison University, located at 100 Smith Lane, Granville, OH, will be coming to an end,” the company said.

“This event will, unfortunately, result in the closure of our operations at Denison University and directly impact our staffing.

This letter will serve as official notice under the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act that Bon Appetit will cease to be the food service provider at Denison University on June 30, 2024.

Therefore, Bon Appetit’s operation at Denison University will be closing and 222 employees will be terminated effective June 30, 2024.

At this time, we anticipate this layoff will be permanent. We appreciate the dedication of our employees and deeply regret that we are required to take these steps.”

A popular Italian restaurant now announces an unexpected closure after nine years in business, according to an email sent to customers.

Italian Eatery, located in south Minneapolis, Minnesota, told its long-time customers that it planned to shut its doors.

The beloved restaurant, also known as ie, also plans to close its sister restaurant un dito, known for its Sicilian seaside street food, per The US Sun.

They have not announced a closing date but are expected to close between late May and mid-June, according to Bring Me The News.

“As we prepare to close our doors at ie and un dito, we’d like to extend a heartfelt invitation for you to join us for our final months of service,” an email to customers from Carrara $ Co. read.

“Gather with us at the table and let us reminisce over the incredible memories we’ve created together and cherish the moments shared over the past nine years.”

Italian Eatery has been a popular spot since its opening in 2016 and is known for its full-service drinks and dining near Lake Nokomis.

Un dito is a 400-square-foot space that specializes in sips and snacks or afternoon gatherings like you would see in Italy, according to its website.

The restaurant’s “Last Supper” reservations will be released every week and shared in weekly newsletters, according to its website.

“As always, we will continue to reserve walk-in tables at both ie + un dito for our beloved neighborhood,” the announcement read, according to the outlet.

Carrara & Co. also owns due, a focacceria and Italian market in St. Paul, Minnesota that the company calls “Italian Eatery’s spawn, aka quirky little brother,” according to its website.

Despite the Minneapolis closures, due will remain open.

“I’m pleased to inform you that all other Carrara & Co operations remain unaffected, including Due Focacceria, and we are even expanding our services,” according to a statement, reported by NBC affiliate KARE.
