MADISON COUNTY, Miss. (WJTV) – The Levi’s Distribution Center in Madison County will close its doors.

“As Levi Strauss & Co. looks to the future, we have been in the process of reviewing our global distribution network to identify where changes are needed to provide the best consumer experience possible. We ultimately came to the conclusion that due to accelerating operational costs and infrastructure needs we must wind down operations at the Canton distribution center,” the company said in a statement released to WJTV 12 News.

The distribution center has been located on Denim Way in Gluckstadt for more than 40 years. The Clarion Ledger reported more than 450 people could lose their jobs.

“This is not a decision we take lightly. The workers in the Canton distribution center played a large part in making Levi Strauss & Co. the company it is today. As we finalize plans and timelines, we promise to do all we can to do right by our employees and the community,” the company said.
