Pepsi Center food service contractors to be laid off

DENVER — Two Pepsi Center food and beverage contracting firms will soon lay off local employees.

Aramark Sports and Entertainment Services LLC will shed 185 employees on Sept. 25, according to   WARN notice letter submitted recently to the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment.

The workers, which include 76 members of the Unite Here Local 23 union, are made up of “cashiers, waitresses, chefs, cooks, managers, food service workers and runners,” according to the letter.

Some of the employees may be rehired by the Pepsi Center’s incoming food service contractor.

“Employees will have the opportunity to apply for open positions with Legends, the new vendor for food and beverage vendor at the Pepsi Center and/or apply for other positions with Levy at other locations,” according to a document provided to the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment. “A transfer into another Levy position is expected to result in the expected loss of hours.”
