Frito-Lay Layoffs to Impact Hundreds in Orlando as Cost Pressures and AI Reshape Labor Market
PepsiCo is providing severance, benefits, and job placement assistance to nearly 500 employees affected by the immediate closure of two Orlando Frito-Lay facilities.
- On Nov. 4, 2025, PepsiCo Foods U.S. announced it is closing two Frito-Lay facilities in Orlando, immediately ending operations and eliminating nearly 500 jobs, the company said.
- The company filed WARN notices and sent letters to the Florida Department of Commerce explaining planned terminations, with Bonny Bourque of Frito-Lay's Southeast Division notifying state officials.
- At the Silver Star Road plant, 454 positions will be terminated, and the nearby Parks Oaks support warehouse will lose 46 staff by May 9, 2026, including mechanics, packagers, machine operators, handlers, supervisors and the plant director.
- PepsiCo Foods U.S. said it will coordinate with state and local government agencies to assist affected employees, providing 60 days of severance pay, benefits, and job placement assistance.
- With recent property sales and a long operating history, the future of the Silver Star Road plant and support warehouse remains unclear, as PepsiCo described the closures as driven by business needs.
