Campbell, which had disclosed plans in January of closing its Ballantyne office as part of a consolidation effort, recently told the state in a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification filing that it anticipates laying off about 55 employees at the Charlotte location by Dec. 1. The N.C. Department of Commerce received the layoff notice on July 17.
The closure comes more than five years after the food industry giant acquired Charlotte-based snack maker Snyder’s-Lance Inc.
