About

Online clothing reseller ThredUp is laying off 243 employees as it closes its distribution center in Vernon Hills, Illinois, effective March 19, 2021. The company, which operates in the e-commerce and secondhand fashion industry, is consolidating operations into more scalable and cost-efficient facilities in Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Arizona. While the exact total employee count isn't specified, the layoffs are part of a strategic shift following pandemic-related sales fluctuations and ahead of a planned initial public offering. ThredUp is offering affected workers relocation support, severance, and job placement assistance.
