Chillicothe to Lose 125 Jobs, Gear for Sports Closing.

A Chillicothe apparel decorating facility will close in December, leaving approximately 125 without a job.

HanesBrands announced this week they will close the Gear For Sports facility in Chillicothe. Company officials say the employee’s will be provided with longevity bonuses and assist in career transitions.

While that facility is closing, another will open in what’s described as a lower-cost move. A company facility in Mexico will take over the operations currently held in the Chillicothe facility.

Gear For Sports will continue operating a facility in Lenexa Kansas. The Chillicothe facility opened in 2001. HanesBrands acquired Gear For Sports in November of last year.
