Exeter, Ontario – The town of Exeter Ontario and about 130 people who mostly work at the CanGro Foods vegetable and fruit processing plant situated in the small town got bad news this morning as the company announced it was closing the plant in the community that will be hit hard by the closure. This apparently has sparked rumours the CanGro Foods could be in trouble and that more plant closures and additional job losses can be expected in the near future as the company fights to stay competitive and get rid of assets pulling it down.
Trench mice was able to contact Mr. Ken Oke, a peaceful and helpful man, about the current situation, saying only that the town will be hit hard by the closure that most of the 130 people live in the community and it’s always been the reason many people stayed in the town, and he’s not sure how this will effect the rest of the people in the town whose jobs depended on the factory, only that he expects this to hit hard.
In conclusion, apparently CanGro Foods has been shopping around for a buyer for the factory for while, as well as other parts of the company that they apparently want to sell, unfortunately and obviously, these move no one has jumped at the chance yet. Hopefully, for the town’s sake and the people who work at the 102 year old factory, the new buyer will keep the place running.
