Richmond Business Closing

A Richmond factory is closing its doors leaving fifteen people without jobs.

The owners of Hoffco-Comet of Richmond said the company filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy and is going out of business.

Hoffco most recently manufactured lawn and garden equipment at its North West F Street Plant.

The company has struggled recently after losing its biggest client, John Deere.

Hoffco-Comet once employed three hundred people.
