While the famous Jays brand should survive, the South Side factory that has churned out potato chips for decades will close permanently Wednesday, a casualty of Jays Foods' latest bankruptcy.
Snyder's of Hanover, the Pennsylvania snack food-maker aiming to buy Jays, doesn't intend to operate the plant on 99th Street, thus jettisoning 220 production jobs. A warehouse and distribution facility at the site, which employs 420 others, will continue to operate for "an unspecified period of time,"Jays said in a press release.
