Cypress, CA – A Southern California headquarters is set to shut its doors, leaving dozens of employees without jobs as part of a permanent closure. FM Restaurants HQ, LLC announced it will lay off 43 workers tied to its Cypress-based corporate office.
According to a WARN notice, the layoffs are scheduled to take effect Thursday, April 30, 2026, at the company’s headquarters located at 11065 Knott Avenue, Suite A. The filing states the job losses are tied directly to the permanent closure of the facility, indicating operations at the site will cease entirely.
The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act requires companies to provide advance notice for mass layoffs or closures, giving affected employees time to prepare and seek alternative employment. The notice does not specify which departments or roles will be impacted, but headquarters closures often affect administrative, management, and support staff.
FM Restaurants is associated with hospitality and dining operations, and the closure of its headquarters may reflect broader restructuring or shifts within the company’s business strategy. It remains unclear whether operations will be relocated or consolidated elsewhere.
Local workforce agencies are expected to offer assistance to displaced employees, including job placement services and access to unemployment benefits. Workers impacted by the layoffs may also explore retraining programs aimed at transitioning into new roles within the hospitality or service sectors.
The closure underscores ongoing volatility in parts of California’s restaurant and hospitality industry, where companies continue adjusting to economic pressures and evolving consumer demand.
