Olean bakery to close in November
BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — Stroehmann, a bakery in Olean, is set to close in November, according to a notice filed with the New York State Department of Labor.
The closure will impact 82 jobs. The bakery’s parent company, Bimbo Bakeries USA, is also closing a bakery in Syracuse suburb of Auburn, which will impact another 49 jobs in September. The listed closing date for the Olean plant is Nov. 2.
Bimbo Bakeries said in a statement to WIVB News 4 that it plans to “transition production” to other bakeries that “are better equipped to support our future growth.”
