GNC, Phoenix, Arizona, 66 jobs, March 2026, Arizona Department of Economic Security, ARIZONA@WORK, Maricopa County
URGENT UPDATE: GNC has just announced the closure of its Phoenix distribution center, impacting 66 jobs. The facility, located at 1002 S 63rd Ave, will cease operations by March 2026, as the company consolidates its logistics strategy.
This major decision comes as GNC reshapes its distribution model, moving towards a single operational hub. Employees and nearby businesses are now facing the immediate fallout from this shutdown. The state’s WARN filing, submitted to the Arizona Department of Economic Security on January 7, confirms the significant job losses associated with the planned closure.
The move reflects a troubling trend in the logistics sector, with many companies across the United States also filing WARN notices amid rising operational costs and excess capacity. According to industry experts, such consolidations are becoming increasingly common as firms struggle to maintain profitability.
For the affected workers, support programs are being mobilized. Local services, including ARIZONA@WORK and Maricopa County workforce programs, are providing rapid-response services, job-search assistance, and training opportunities. Upcoming job fairs and resume workshops are scheduled to aid those displaced by the warehouse closure.
As GNC winds down its operations in Phoenix, the community watches closely, aware of the broader implications for the local economy and workforce. This closure is not just a loss of jobs but also an indicator of shifting dynamics in the logistics industry, prompting urgent discussions on the future of employment in the area.
