Everidge Files a 90-Worker Closure Notice for Rancho Cucamonga, Effective February 2027

A new California WARN filing lists 90 workers affected by a closure in Rancho Cucamonga. The employer is listed as Everidge, the effective date is February 26, 2027, and the notice date is October 25, 2026. The record comes from California's official WARN source, the Employment Development Department, as carried in the Layoff Atlas registry.

The gap between the October 25 notice and the February 26 effective date is 124 days, well beyond the 60 days of advance notice the federal WARN Act generally requires for a qualifying plant closing or mass layoff.

What the filing says

The registry entry is short, and that brevity is worth stating plainly. It lists:

• Employer: Everidge
• Location: Rancho Cucamonga, California
• Workers affected: 90
• Event type: closure
• Notice date: October 25, 2026
• Effective date: February 26, 2027
• Source: California Employment Development Department

A closure filing is different from a temporary layoff filing. A temporary filing, like the recent 533-worker Fender Musical Instruments filing in Corona or the 107-worker Georg Fischer Signet filing in Baldwin Park, describes a layoff expected to last for a limited period. A closure filing describes a shutdown of a facility or operating unit. The registry does not say which facility is involved beyond the city, what jobs are affected, or whether any roles will move elsewhere. Those details are not in the filing as presented, so this article does not fill them in.

One caution applies to every figure here. These are reported plans, not confirmed job losses. WARN filings record what an employer has notified the state it plans to do, on the dates it has given. Plans can change, dates can be postponed, and a filing can be amended or withdrawn.

Where the filing sits in California's picture

Everidge's notice is one of the most recent California filings in the registry. California's newest official notice date in the archive is October 26, 2026, one day after the Everidge notice, for a 49-worker closure filing by Tawa in Chino. The Everidge filing is therefore part of a small cluster of late-October California notices, not an isolated data point.

California dominates the national WARN picture in sheer volume. The state's imported archive holds 17,621 non-cancelled notices reporting 1,455,786 workers affected, with 180 notices carrying future effective dates. In 2026 alone, the archive records 1,193 California notices affecting 63,959 workers.

The 90-worker size also puts the filing in perspective. It is far smaller than California's largest recent filings, which run into the hundreds of workers, but it is well above the federal threshold that typically brings a closing into scope: 50 or more full-time workers, at an employer with 100 or more full-time workers.

The national backdrop

Across the United States, the registry currently shows 694 notices affecting 67,083 reported workers in its 90-day notice window, with 30 worker counts unavailable. The figures were last updated on October 29, 2026. California leads the state ranking in that window with 18,309 workers, just ahead of Washington at 17,050. Illinois follows with 4,626, then Texas with 3,652 and Georgia with 2,492. California and Washington together account for more than half of the workers in the national window.

The upcoming effective weeks show a busy stretch ahead: 8,693 workers in the week of October 29, 3,302 in the week of November 5, 7,521 in the week of November 12, 8,412 in the week of November 19, 5,819 in the week of November 26, and 1,670 in the week of December 3, for a six-week total of 35,417 workers. The Everidge effective date of February 26, 2027 falls well beyond that six-week window, a reminder that the WARN calendar extends months past the near-term weeks that dominate weekly headlines. Filings with 2027 effective dates are already appearing, and they will shape the picture as those dates draw closer.

How to read a filing like this one

For workers at an affected site, the most useful parts of a WARN entry are usually the dates and the event type, not the headline worker count. The notice date tells you when the state received the filing. The effective date tells you when the employer says the closure will take effect. The gap between them is the notice period workers and local agencies have to prepare. In the Everidge case, that gap is about four months.

Workers affected by a WARN filing can generally expect to hear from their employer directly, since the law requires notice to affected workers or their union representative, to the state dislocated worker unit, and to the chief elected official of the local government.

What to watch next

Two things are worth watching. First, whether the February 26, 2027 effective date holds, or whether the registry later shows an amended date. Second, whether further California filings with early-2027 effective dates continue to appear.

For now, the facts are narrow and clear: 90 workers, a closure in Rancho Cucamonga, notice given on October 25, 2026, with an effective date of February 26, 2027. That is the filing as recorded, and it will remain part of California's 2026 WARN record whatever happens next.
