Eggo waffle plant and Jabil factory in San Jose to close temporarily in November, affecting 494 workers
State layoff notices show the Eggo plant closing Nov. 4 and Jabil's Great Oaks site Nov. 23. They don't say for how long or why.
Two San Jose factories will close temporarily this month, affecting 494 workers, according to notices on the state's list of layoff warnings. The Eggo waffle plant at 475 Eggo Way closes Wednesday, Nov. 4, affecting 112 employees, and Jabil's site at 30 Great Oaks Blvd. closes Nov. 23, affecting 382, the California Employment Development Department (EDD) list shows.
The list comes from WARN, short for Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification. California's version of the law generally covers employers with 75 or more workers and requires 60 days' written notice before a mass layoff, plant closure or relocation, the EDD says.
The state lists the Eggo employer as Eggo Company, doing business as Kellanova; its notice is dated Sept. 4. Jabil, which builds products for other brands, from AI data center equipment to medical devices, dated its notice Aug. 20. It filed temporary-closure notices for the same Great Oaks site in each of the past two years: 472 workers as of Nov. 25, 2024, and 393 as of Nov. 24, 2025, earlier EDD reports show.
The list gives each employer, address, worker count, dates and whether the action is temporary or permanent. It does not say how long the closures will last, why, or whether workers will be paid in the meantime. The Daily News could not confirm those details on Nov. 3; neither company has posted them on its website.
Affected workers can get job-search help, training and unemployment-benefit information from state Rapid Response teams, the EDD says.
