PepsiCo closes Tulsa warehouse, cuts 184 jobs amid distribution network restructuring
PepsiCo Beverages will permanently close its warehouse operations at a Tulsa, Oklahoma facility on November 15, 2026, resulting in 184 job cuts. The layoffs primarily affect warehouse workers, forklift operators, checkers, and inventory-control specialists. Production at the plant will continue, with warehouse operations shifting to a new facility operated by an unnamed logistics provider. PepsiCo stated it will assist affected employees with job applications, pay continuation, and career support. This follows other recent PepsiCo warehouse closures, including a Frito-Lay facility in California (248 jobs) and Orlando (46 jobs), as the company consolidates its U.S. distribution network. CEO Ramon Laguarta discussed the strategy during the July 9, 2026 earnings call, citing efforts to combine scale across warehouses and delivery routes. PepsiCo's stock is down approximately 4% year-to-date.
