A prominent American retailer has announced the closure of its warehouse in Florence, Kentucky, by the end of 2025. This move will reportedly lead to the lay-off of 218 employees. The lay-offs at the warehouse of the company, Wayfair, will begin on December 31 and will be implemented in phases throughout the year.

The 20,000-square-foot facility, which opened five years ago, has operated as both a warehouse and retail store. The affected workers are non-union and do not have bumping rights, meaning they cannot displace other employees in different positions.
This closure reflects ongoing adjustments within Wayfair's operations as the company continues to streamline its logistics and inventory management. The impact on the local workforce and community will be monitored as the lay-offs proceed.
