Hats off at Fanatics Tampa distribution center
Sports apparel giant Fanatics is announcing it will shutter its Oak Creek distribution center next year and shift the work to a newer, “more advanced” Tampa facility. The warehouse came with Fanatics’ 2017 Majestic acquisition; now it’s being written off as not up to the company’s latest “scale and innovation” story. Layoffs start March 1 and run through July 31, with workers offered severance, job fairs, and the chance to apply for roles at other Fanatics sites.
