Massachusetts is losing one of its iconic business locations, as the Cape Cod potato chips manufacturing plant in Hyannis is set to close in April.
The Campbell’s Company, which owns the Cape Cod brand, announced the closing on Thursday.
Cape Cod chips were founded in Hyannis in 1980, and the plant has been operational since 1985. Campbell’s bought the company in 2018.
According to Campbell’s, 49 people will lose their jobs when the plant closes.
In a quarterly fiscal report released on Dec. 9, 2025, Campbell’s disclosed that its net sales had decreased by about 3% over the previous year, with adjusted gross profit decreasing from $871 million to $801 million.
Campbell’s said it will shift production of Cape Cod chips to its plants in Beloit, Wis., Charlotte, N.C., and Hanover, Pa.
