Even businesses outside of Anheuser-Busch are getting hit, with retailers taking major financial hits because they’re struggling to sell their supply of Bud Light. In fact, it’s been so bad that the beer has been priced lower than water at some bars.
Production plants that work with the Anheuser-Busch brand are now starting to shut down, with a glass bottle factory in Wilson, North Carolina being forced to close its doors in the next few weeks, according to WRAL.
Declining sales “forced a glass plant in Wilson to cut down bottle production starting in May,” read WRAL’s report.
Another plant associated with Bud Light in Ruston, Louisiana is also shutting down, with 245 jobs being lost.
