The Heluva Good! cheese packaging plant and the brand's popular country store in Wayne County will close this summer, putting 59 people out of work, its parent company, HP Foods LLC, confirmed Sunday.
The last day of operation for the plant on Pratt Road and the Heluva Good! Country Store on Barclay Road, both in Sodus, is scheduled for June 26, according to the company. Warehouse and delivery operations will continue until July 31.
Fifty-three employees work out of the plant, and the store employs a staff of six, according to the state Department of Labor, which last week issued a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification, or WARN notice, about the impending layoffs.
