RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — A filing with state officials says the company that runs QVC is shutting down a North Carolina distribution center heavily damaged by a fire, putting nearly 2,000 people out of work. News outlets report that on Dec. 29, Qurate Retail Group filed a Worker Adjustment and Retraining and Notification notice with the North Carolina Department of Commerce announcing its plans. Records show the company is permanently closing and expected to lay off employees from Feb. 1 through the middle of the year. QRG says workers will be provided with an opportunity to seek employment at other locations across the country.
