OVG Hospitality

OVG Hospitality, part of the Oak View Group, filed a notice saying competition over management of food and beverage concessions at the Ventura County Fairgrounds could result in layoffs of 128 hospitality workers. OVG has been the master concessionaire for food, beer and other beverages at the beachside fairgrounds since 2012. The potential job cuts are tied to the concession management competition and are expected to occur in mid-November according to the notice to state officials. The article frames this as a planned workforce reduction tied to a contract/management change rather than an immediate, already-completed layoff.
