After more than a decade in business, a Lubbock snack facility will shut down next month due to a decrease in demand, according to company officials.
Shearer’s Foods is “the largest supplier of private brand salty snacks and the second-largest supplier of private brand cookies and crackers in North America,” according to the company’s website. The company also has had a Lubbock production facility at 3203 Ave. B since 2007.
The Lubbock facility will end operations on March 31, the company confirmed in an emailed statement.
