Republic National Distributing Co. will exit the California market by September, resulting in 1,756 job cuts across the state. The layoffs will occur in phases, affecting workers at various locations including Tustin, Chino, Hayward, and others. The largest cuts will take place at the company's Tustin facilities. The decision is influenced by rising operational costs and the loss of a significant distribution partnership with Brown-Forman, which has switched to rival Reyes Beverage Group. CEO Bob Hendrickson emphasized that this shift is strategic and not performance-related.
