Signet Jewelers offering buyouts to nearly 3,000 workers in Akron

The layoffs will impact workers at their Store Support Centers.

More than 3,000 Akron workers could soon be out of a job.

Signet Jewelers, the parent company of popular stores like Kay, Jared and Zales is making cuts.

The company is offering voluntary buyouts to 2,600 employees in Akron and 890 employees in Dallas,TX.

The company is optimistic that the voluntary departures will be enough to “fund critical investments in our Path to Brilliance transformation plan and drive sustained growth.”

“We are hopeful that we can achieve the cost savings we need in this voluntary way, but we may need to make further headcount reductions to free needed funding for investments” said David Bouffard, a spokesperson for the company.

The layoffs will impact workers at their Store Support Centers. Workers at the company’s retail stores will not be offered the package.
