Ventura, CA – A major employer in Ventura County is set to shut down this summer, with dozens of workers expected to lose their jobs.
According to a WARN notice filed in California, Reyes Coca-Cola Bottling plans to permanently close its facility located at 5335 Walker Street in Ventura. The closure is scheduled for July 10, 2026.
The filing states that 85 employees will be laid off as part of the shutdown.
WARN (Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification) notices are required under state law when companies plan significant layoffs or closures, giving employees advance notice and time to prepare for job transitions.
