As Danville’s Quaker Oats plant officially closes, employees plot next move – Champaign News-Gazette

"Quaker was one of the highest paying employers in the area, so workers are searching for opportunities that will allow them to at least approximate the wages they had been making previously," Chuck Jones, director of Vermilion County Works, said of the 510 employees affected by the plant closure.

Ironically, I stopped buying Aunt Jemima after they took her off the box. I also stopped buying land o lakes butter when they removed the indian too.

Area prepped for another industry, that’s laughable who in their right mind would start a company in Illinois other than the Chinese.

Old Joe has eaten quick oats for decades. I must admit that I usually by a store brand because they’re cheaper than Quaker Oats.

Hmm, isn’t their logo a bit non inclusive?
