CB Manufacturing Files 143-Worker WARN Notice in Prince George's County, Effective November 13

CB Manufacturing, Inc., doing business as Pepsi Beverages, has filed a WARN notice covering 143 workers at its facility in Prince George's County, Maryland. The layoff takes effect November 13, 2026 — tomorrow — exactly 60 days after the notice was filed on September 14, 2026.

The filing is listed on the Maryland Department of Labor's public WARN log as a "Mass Layoff - No Recall" at 2611 Pepsi Place, Hyattsville, MD 20781. The state log gives the industry code as NAICS 312111, soft drink manufacturing. It is an official filing with the Maryland Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation, and it appears in the Layoff Atlas registry as one of Maryland's larger 2026 filings.

The filing, in detail

The notice date is September 14, 2026. The effective date is November 13, 2026. That is a 60-day gap, exactly the minimum notice period the federal WARN Act requires for a covered plant closing or mass layoff, and exactly the notice period Maryland's own Economic Stabilization Act requires for a reduction in operations.

The filing covers 143 workers. For scale, Maryland's 2026 filings average about 70 workers each — 8,556 reported workers across 123 notices so far this year — so this single filing is about twice the size of a typical Maryland notice in 2026. It represents about 1.7 percent of all workers reported in Maryland WARN filings this year.

The state log classifies the event as a mass layoff with no recall, which means the affected workers are not expected to be called back. That is the state's own classification, not a characterization of the company's plans beyond the filing.

What reporting adds about the site

News coverage in September described the site as Pepsi's Cheverly plant, a facility that has operated in the area for more than 60 years. The affected jobs are in manufacturing, warehousing, transportation, and fleet operations, according to NBC4 Washington's September report. Pepsi said its sales and delivery operations in the area would continue, so the layoff does not amount to a complete withdrawal from the local market.

NBC4 also reported that 98 of the 143 affected workers are union members, according to a correction published with its report. Pepsi said affected employees would receive continued pay and benefits through November 13, 2026, alongside transition resources and other support. A local official cited by NBC4 said the facility generated roughly $200,000 a year in revenue for the town of Cheverly, which will have to adjust its budget for the loss.

The registry lists the site's address as 2611 Pepsi Place in Hyattsville. Hyattsville and Cheverly are neighboring communities in Prince George's County, and the plant is commonly described as the Cheverly Pepsi plant. Workers checking whether their own site is affected should go by the address on the filing, not the town name in news coverage.

Maryland in the national picture

Maryland is currently the third-ranked state in the national WARN data, with 2,667 reported workers in the 90-day window, behind California at 20,789 and Washington at 17,387. Virginia follows at 2,556 and Texas at 2,419.

Maryland's full archive holds 1,437 notices reporting 118,263 workers. In the last 365 days, the state has 142 official filings reporting 9,672 workers, with the newest official notice dated November 6, 2026. Twenty Maryland notices have future effective dates, so more layoffs are already scheduled beyond this week.

The week this layoff lands in

CB Manufacturing's November 13 effective date falls in the week of November 12, which has 7,578 workers scheduled across the country — the second-heaviest week on the current calendar. The heaviest is the week of November 19, with 8,412 workers scheduled. The six weeks from November 12 through December 17 total 31,247 scheduled workers.

Nationally, the registry currently shows 654 notices covering 60,606 reported workers in the 90-day window, with 30 notices carrying no available worker count. Those figures were updated November 11, 2026. The six-week forward calendar — 31,247 workers — is more than half of the current 90-day total, which is a reminder that the bulk of the layoffs in today's data have not happened yet. They are scheduled, not completed.

How to read this number

A WARN filing is a report of planned job losses, not a confirmation that the losses have happened. The 143 figure is the number of workers the employer reported as affected in its filing with the state. It does not count workers who may find other roles with the company, workers whose jobs are preserved through transfers, or changes the employer may make before the effective date. Employers can postpone, amend, or cancel a planned layoff, and when they do, the registry record may not be updated.

Coverage also varies by state. Maryland publishes its WARN log promptly and in full, which is why its filings are easy to verify against the official source. In states that publish slowly or not at all, the registry shows fewer notices — and fewer notices does not mean fewer layoffs.

For workers at the Hyattsville site, the practical facts are the dates: notice on September 14, layoff effective November 13, and continued pay and benefits through that date, according to the company. Maryland's Dislocated Worker Unit and the Prince George's County American Job Center are the usual first contacts for affected workers seeking unemployment benefits, retraining, and job placement help.
