NEW YORK—Kellogg Co. is shuttering distribution centres across the United States and cutting more than 1,000 workers, as it follows through with a cost-cutting plan amid falling sales. Earlier this year, the maker of Frosted Flakes, Pop Tarts and Eggo waffles said it would close nearly 40 distribution centres and use a warehouse system. The Battle Creek, Mich.-based company will shut down a distribution centre in Memphis and lay off 172 workers. Other closings include centres in Houston and Fort Worth, Texas, affecting 420 workers. Facilities in Charlotte and Greensboro, N.C., will also close, affecting 500 workers.
