Sacramento, CA – A longstanding Sacramento manufacturing facility is set to shut its doors next year as Blue Diamond Growers plans to close its historic plant, affecting dozens of workers in the region.
According to a WARN notice shared publicly, the closure is scheduled for Friday, June 12, 2026, and will impact 49 employees tied to the Sacramento operation. The cooperative, known for its almond products and deep roots in California agriculture, has not publicly detailed the full scope of reasons behind the decision in the notice.
Blue Diamond Growers has been a staple in Sacramento for decades, with its presence closely tied to the state’s almond industry, one of California’s most significant agricultural sectors. The planned closure marks a notable shift for the company’s local footprint and raises concerns about job displacement and economic ripple effects in the area.
Employees affected by the closure are expected to receive advance notice and may have access to support services, including potential job placement assistance or retraining resources, though specific details were not outlined in the initial filing.
The WARN Act, which requires employers to provide advance notice of significant layoffs or closures, is designed to give workers and communities time to prepare for employment transitions.
Local officials and workforce agencies may step in over the coming months to assist impacted workers as the closure date approaches. Additional details regarding the facility’s future or potential redevelopment of the site have not yet been announced.
As Sacramento continues to evolve economically, the closure represents both a loss of a historic employer and a moment of transition for the local workforce.
