EG America has laid off some employees as a means to better position the convenience retailer for the long term, a company spokesperson confirmed. The layoffs took place on Jan. 5 and affected about 90 team members in the company’s store support arm, a source familiar with the situation said.
These layoffs will not lead to a reduction among in-store staff members, the source noted. EG America’s spokesperson said the changes will also help position the company towards “a renewed focus on enhancing customer service” moving forward.
EG America is working with the terminated employees to offer transitional support, including giving them priority consideration for open positions elsewhere within the company, a source familiar with the situation said. “We recognize this is a difficult time for the affected colleagues at EG America and we are doing our utmost to support them,” EG America’s spokesperson said in a statement.
