KEENE, NH - C&S Wholesale Grocers will be closing two facilities, both in Indiana, come September.

The two warehouses are located in Indianapolis and Yorktown, respectively, and will result in about 187 layoffs combined.

Indianapolis Haulage LLC and Indianapolis Logistics LLC filed mass layoff notices last Friday, July 15, according to the Indianapolis Business Journal, 116 employees in Indianapolis and 71 in Yorktown. The dates listed for layoffs are between Sept. 16 and Sept. 29.

Employees are both union and non-union, and nothing was reported about the process beyond the filing for the layoffs.

According to the report, the closures could be linked to SuperValu Inc.’s announcement earlier this month of its having entered into a long-term supply agreement with Marsh Supermarkets as its primary grocery supplier. Its current contract with C&S Wholesale expires on Sept. 24.

C&S Wholesale has also been in the midst of an entire reorganization plan, announced last October, the latest of which involved the reopening of its shuttered Maryland distribution facility.
