(Dakota News Now) - Cimpl’s Meats in Yankton closed its doors on Monday after 76 years.CIMPL’S, LLC. operated as part of American Foods Group’s fresh meats division.According to WNAX Radio, city leaders as well as over 250 employees were informed of the closure on Monday morning.The closure comes after American Foods Group said the location was not profitable and that it would move operations to Missouri.Chief Executive Officer of Yankton Thrive Nancy Wenande expressed their thoughts on the closure.“Yankton Thrive is both surprised and saddened by the decision to relocate beef processing operations from Yankton, South Dakota, to the American Foods Group’s new facility in Missouri. Established in 1949, Cimpl’s Meats has been a cornerstone of our community. This transition will undoubtedly have significant economic implications for our area. However, our primary concern lies with the dedicated employees and their families affected by this decision,” said Wenande.Wenande says that Yankton Thrive has been in contact with the Labor Department as well as the Governor’s Office of Economic Development.American Foods Group released a statement addressing the closure.“Today, we made the tough decision to idle harvest operations at our Cimpl’s facility, affecting over 250 employees. We recognize the profound impact this has on our team members, their families, and the community. Our top priority is supporting those affected during this transition. This week, team members from our other locations are on-site to provide guidance and discuss relocation opportunities. In addition to offering affected employees opportunities at other AFG facilities, we plan to provide continued pay and benefits during the transition. We are committed to standing by our employees and doing everything we can to assist them through this challenging time,” said Louie Kohlbeck, President of American Foods Group’s Fresh Meats Division.All other American Foods Group facilities will remain operational, and customers' supply chains will not be interrupted.Copyright 2025 Dakota News Now.
