Plant Closing #10

I just read that the Spam plant is working overtime because people are turning to cheaper meats. Now I see Sara Lee is closing a hot dog factory on the South Side of Chicago.
Sara Lee Corp. is closing its South Side kosher hot dog and meat processing plant, 1000 W. Pershing, leaving about 185 people without jobs.

Sara Lee plans to sell the plant..... good luck. I hope they do find a buyer. Sara Lee says that the kosher meat business is not a core business and not profitable enough. Maybe a more focused owner can keep it thriving.
