Carver closing?
All right. News from other groups are saying the Carver is closing there doors. I cannot find proof of this anywhere. Please, say it ain't so.

Re: Carver closing?
Maybe part of the big Carver news we never got which I would think has to do with maybe a buyout. Speculation only at this point.

Re: Carver closing?
Found this which shows several layoffs coming up. Question is, who is the buyer and what are the intentions? https://dwd.wisconsin.gov/dislocatedwor ... 030801.pdf

Re: Carver closing?
I thought the other thread was along the lines of "big news, but not necessarily bad news", so I'm hoping it's nowhere near "closing their doors"!!!

Re: Carver closing?
No surprise here really. Time will tell whether it was a good thing or not. Sometimes it's the best thing to happen to a company. Fingers crossed that's the case here. We'll see.

We may be relying more on our forum than ever to keep our carvers going if this is true.

Re: Carver closing?
Hopefully that's just a legally-required notice to give the new owners some flexibility in doing staff changes that might be necessary.

Re: Carver closing?
Is this really recent news? I found this news article, dated Jan 2020. Maybe they never found a buyer?
