The Quaker Oats Company announced Wednesday it is permanently closing its factory in Danville, Illinois, with upwards of 500 employees to be impacted.

The News-Gazette reports Mayor Rickey Williams Jr. confirmed the news to the wider community, with city officials saying:

Today, we learned that after 65 years of production in Danville, Pepsico will close Quaker Oats effective June 8, 2024.

The business has already ceased production but will continue to pay their employees through that time. While this shocks and saddens us, we will unite as a community to help those who have lost their employment.

Williams said he is unsure whether any of the affected employees are being transferred or if they are all being laid off.

“ this move and other moves indicate that the gov of Illinois will be moving in a large load of illegal aliens in to the area and housing them in a soon to be closed mall.”

The residents of Danville need to say a loud and clear “HELL NO!” to Governor Creosote.

He wants to turn the USA into a 3rd world country-—and join the likes if Africa

Look on the bright side, the decent single job they had can now be parlayed into two Uber / Door Dash jobs and pump up ADPs monthly job report.
