This is developing right now even though the story was published back in June 2013... 2014 will be bloody: ARAMARK plans to lay off 300 workers in Philadelphia, as the company makes plans to move some of its operations out of state.
The Philadelphia-based company provides food services, facilities management and career apparel to schools, stadiums, hospitals and other businesses worldwide.
ARAMARK officials tell NBC10 Investigative reporter Harry Hairston the layoffs are part of a restructuring operation and those jobs will be sent to Nashville, Tennessee.
The company announced they are investing $20 million dollars on a new business center facility in Nashville.
Some of the human resources and finance positions will be consolidated, according to ARAMARK officials.
The formal announcement is expected to happen tomorrow.
