Fulfillment Distribution Center (FDC) in St. Cloud, Minnesota, has announced plans to close its plant this fall, resulting in the layoff of 350 employees. The closure is due to the loss of FDC’s sole customer, Publishers Clearing House (PCH), which is discontinuing its mail-order commercial business. PCH has also announced layoffs at its New York facility. FDC has been in operation since 1998 and is actively seeking new customers to replace the lost work. Despite the layoffs, St. Cloud Mayor Dave Kleis expressed hope that the center will secure a new customer.
