Levi Strauss & Co. to Close Hebron, KY Distribution Center, ~303 Workers Affected

Levi Strauss & Co. is permanently closing its 772,150-square-foot distribution center in Hebron, Kentucky, with layoffs beginning around August 30, 2026. The company said roughly 303 employees are expected to be laid off as a result of the closure, though some staff may apply for roles at other Levi locations and bumping rights apply for union-represented employees. The move is part of LS&Co.'s shift to a hybrid logistics model that outsources distribution to third-party providers such as Maersk and GXO and follows a prior WARN notice and earlier restructuring efforts, which included reductions in corporate headcount. WARN Act notices were filed and separations for union and home-office populations are scheduled to begin during the 14-day period starting August 30, 2026.
