More than 280 people in NC laid off in Piedmont Triad area plant closures

More than 110 people will be laid off by the end of the year when a major mattress manufacturer permanently closes its plant in Randolph County. Sealy Mattress Manufacturing Company is closing its 28-year-old plant in Trinity, about 68 miles north of Charlotte near High Point. The company plans to shut the site by Dec. 31. The closure will result in 114 layoffs, according to a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN) report filed on Oct. 23. Federal law requires such notices for certain mass layoffs. The report became available Monday. Sealy Mattress is owned by Tempur Sealy International Inc. Its headquarters is in Trinity, where the company has been based since relocating from Ohio in 1998. The facility is closing due to “evolving customer demand” and business needs, according a Tempur Sealy International spokesperson. The facility will be used as a research and development space for the product development team, the spokesperson added. And no corporate roles were impacted. But last year, Tempur Sealy International added to its portfolio. After a court hearing with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, Tempur Sealy International acquired Mattress Firm for $5 billion last February.

Elite Academic Services Bridges Classroom and Publishing with 24/7 Model

Elite Academic Services, LLC has built its educational publishing operation around a feedback loop that starts in the classroom and ends in print. The Winston-Salem company maintains an active academic services arm that operates around the clock, and the student data, learning struggles, and curriculum gaps it encounters there shape the books and study guides it publishes. Materials are tested in practice before they go to print, a departure from the rigid cycles that traditional educational publishers follow. The company was founded to bridge the gap between complex academic knowledge and accessible, high-quality educational resources. What began as a local tutoring and academic support service in Winston-Salem revealed a broader need. Individual instruction changes one student's life at a time, but publishing books and comprehensive educational materials can reach thousands. That reach now includes books, study guides, and academic consulting for everyone from everyday families to independent authors. Elite Academic Services also continues to offer tutoring and educational support, keeping the services arm and the publishing side connected. Financial accessibility is a central part of the model. High-quality academic publishing and specialized tutoring have historically been restricted by high upfront costs. Elite Academic Services integrates four flexible payment solutions: Klarna,

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — In 2016, ERA Live Moore owner Eb Moore made something closer to a promise than a hire: he identified Jodi Tate as the person to open the franchise's Winston-Salem office, and told her that if she ever chose to build her own company, he and co-owner Tania Moore would back her. Four years later, she took him up on it, founding Blue Door Group Real Estate in 2020 with the Moores' full support.
