The layoffs will last “until around the time that bans on the hospitality providers serviced by Economy Linen are lifted,” says the letter made public by the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services. “The entire plant will not be closed.”
The business rents, launders and distributes linen products for hospitals and restaurants in Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia. The business also has locations in Cincinnati, Columbus, Indianapolis and Zanesville.
