As WRAL reported, a glass bottle factory in Wilson, North Carolina, is slated to close its doors in the coming weeks.
Many workers set to be laid off
As stated in WRAL’s report, “Declining sales “forced a glass plant in Wilson to cut down bottle production starting in May,” and “With Bud Light’s huge drop in sales, last week, the plant’s owner, the Ardagh group, announced it would be shutting down the factory in Mid-July, laying off close to 400 employees.”
Further adding to the problem, another factory in Ruston, Louisiana, linked to Bud Light, is also closing, leading to the loss of 245 jobs.
The current situation at Bud Light is shockingly chaotic.

Bud Light continues to spend money on marketing
Empathy is extended to the 645 individuals who are losing their jobs, but they can attribute their predicament to Anheuser-Busch and their ill-thought-out collaboration with Dylan Mulvaney.
It is surprising that Bud Light is still sponsoring WWE’s Money in the Bank Premium Live Event.
While the company is making numerous workers redundant, they are simultaneously spending a lot of money sponsoring professional wrestling shows and other events.
The company has a steep mountain to climb if they are going to get themselves out of this mess, which they put themselves into in the first place.
