FedEx’s Two Missouri Facilities Are Scheduled to Close Sept. 28, Affecting 143 Positions

FedEx has scheduled the closure of two Missouri facilities for September 28, a worksite change covering 143 positions in state labor records. The St. Louis-listed location accounts for 68 affected positions, while the Earth City location accounts for 75. For workers at those sites, September 28 is the scheduled closing date—not confirmation that both facilities have shut down or that 143 people have lost their jobs.

Missouri received both notices on July 28 and classifies each action as a closing. The state’s 2026 listing places the entries in couriers and express delivery services, but the notices do not give a breakdown by job title or specify whether affected employees will transfer to other sites.

How the closures fit the wider worksite picture

FedEx describes a broader change in how it organizes delivery work. Its fiscal 2026 annual filing says Network 2.0 consolidates sorting facilities, reduces overlapping pickup-and-delivery routes and uses a market-by-market mix of employee couriers and contracted service providers. In its customer explanation, the company describes consolidating stations so one driver can handle a route’s mix of packages. Those companywide descriptions do not identify the two Missouri closings as Network 2.0 actions or specify where their work will move.

For employers recruiting nearby, the notices establish the scale and locations of the scheduled change. The 143 figure counts positions affected by the planned closings, not workers confirmed to be available for new jobs.
