Three companies to cut central Ohio operations affecting 455 workers

Three companies have told the state that they are cutting central Ohio operations that will affect as many as 455 workers, including two warehouses that will be closed.

Arlington Contact Lens Service said it will close its Columbus operations, including its distribution center at 2250 International St., on Aug. 3. The company said 151 workers will lose their job.

The first cuts will take place on June 28.

Separately, Insight Direct USA told the state that it will close its Lewis Center warehouse that will result in the loss of 82 jobs on Aug. 31.

The warehouse is at 8837 Green Meadows Dr. N.

The biggest cuts, 222, are at Denison University in Granville where Bon Appetit Management Co. says its contract for food service is ending.

The company says the workers will lose their jobs June 30, but it is working with affected employees to offer other jobs with the company.

Also, the company said that it understands that the new food service provider at Denison plans to hire many of the existing workers.

The latest notices come after retailer Express, which filed for bankruptcy protection last week, warned that 615 corporate jobs are at risk because of the bankruptcy filing.

Earlier in April, two other companies, Honeywell Intelligrated and Evo Transportation & Energy Services, said they would be cutting a total of 180 jobs in central Ohio.
