    Rich Food Products

    This was on another message board on wben.

    On April 4, 2004 Rich Products signed a termination agreement with the local Union commitee. During the past eighteen months at least 200 manufacturing jobs have been lost in the Buffalo Plant. These were high paying jobs with medical benefits. Why has Bob Rich Jr. gotten a free ride with almost no communication of this great loss to the Buffalo community, where was the out cry from the Politicians. Is this the beginning of the pull out of Rich's in Buffalo, if he can close the original manufacturing plant, what next? How can a Family oriented company leave any employee out of the severence package and not have to answer to anyone. Where has the media been with this story? There are hundreds of people who have been impacted one way or the other.

    He probably wants to cut down on those time-consuming manufacturing issues so he can concentrate on more important stuff---like opening gov-subsidized fishing stores.
    Truth springs from argument among friends.

    Bob Rich Jr. has given to much campaign money to many of the Buffalo candidates in the Democrat Party. They will not bite the hand that feeds them will they?

    The rumor mill is healthy and kicking. RICH PRODUCTS IS NOT MOVING ENTIRELY OUT OF BUFFALO. Kill the thought that they moving out of Buffalo. Rich Products is however moving PART of the manufacturing plant out of this area. The facility across the street from Rich Products HQ is closing. That is why they tore down the Broderick Inn to make more room for parking space – in part. .Sunday, June 22, 2003 Buffalo News [sorry do not have the section]:

    “The Broderick Park Inn will be torn down. Oh, woe is we. Rich Products has tried for years to turn the old, albeit, picturesque building into a semi-profitable venture. It couldn't. Rich needs parking for its workforce and it wants to tear down the old building to gain that.”

    The HQ is still in Buffalo. Yes you will still be able o buy cookie dough chocolate éclairs and goodies when they have their semi truckload sales. Actually I believe you need to go down to Niagara Street now no more roving sales events.
