Overview
- Ferrara notified officials it will cease Jelly Belly’s Fairfield corporate‑commercial operations and permanently eliminate 69 office roles.
- Layoffs begin in the first two weeks of June 2026 and proceed in monthly phases through January 14, 2027.
- The cuts target corporate functions such as marketing, finance, IT, customer service, purchasing, web and e‑commerce roles.
- Manufacturing, distribution and the Fairfield Visitor Center remain open, and the company anticipates no impact on production or service.
- The Fairfield campus has about 374 employees, so the reductions equal roughly 18% of local staff, as the city and county workforce board mobilize support following other recent job losses including the Budweiser brewery closure.
