Summary
Mission Foods announced it will close its Pueblo, Colorado tortilla factory, founded as Candy's Tortilla Factory and acquired by Mission Foods in 1994, resulting in permanent separations for approximately 90 workers. The company submitted a WARN Act notice to Colorado on August 14, 2026, stating affected employees were notified and that layoffs will begin on October 13, 2026, with all separations completed by October 27, 2026. The closure is attributed in the article to years of underinvestment in the Pueblo facility and criticism from UFCW Local 7 leadership that the company prioritized profits over workers. The WARN filing and union statements frame the shutdown as a planned, permanent facility closure affecting the local community.
