TOLEDO, Ohio — Hollywood Casino Toledo announced that it will layoff 116 of its employees, resulting from the coronavirus pandemic.
The layoffs will begin August 15 this year and will be permanent.
The company says the negative impact of COVID-19 has caused business for Hollywood Casino nationwide to experience a significant drag that will likely continue for the foreseeable future.
"We simply could not foresee, that the initial closures of our properties, that were issued by one or two states for a limited period of time, ultimately spread throughout all the states in which we operate and eventually be extended, interrupting almost all business and travel temporarily," the company said in a statement. "Finally, we could not have anticipated when our properties would be allowed to reopen and how restrictive the new operating conditions would be, and the negative impact this would have on business volumes."
Information such as when and what positions will be affected can be found on the company's website.
The casino is scheduled to reopen this Friday.
