SUMMARY: Brown-Forman is closing its cooperage in Louisville, which has been in operation for 80 years, resulting in approximately 210 layoffs. Employees were informed during a morning meeting, leaving many shocked, including Daryl Fogle, a 25-year employee whose family had worked there for generations. While the company will offer severance and other benefits, many employees, including Corey Johnson, acknowledge the tough market conditions, with bourbon sales declining post-pandemic.
