Spitz Plant in Bow Island to be Closed
Well this is a real kick in the pants! Pepsico bought out Spitz in 2008, and now they are shutting the original plant in Bow Island down, laying off 53 people in a small town. Brutal. Because they want to move production to the USA, maybe because it is cheaper with corporate taxes? Sad day, my favorite brand since forever. My families home quarter is in Purple Springs, just down the road, and I was always proud Spitz was 'local'....damn.
