WSBT has confirmed that Woodwind & Brasswind is closing its retail store, call center and warehouse.
This affects 115 jobs. The employees were told in a company-wide meeting Wednesday.
The lease on their current facility on the west side is up in February. Dennis Haffeman, the executive vice president of human resources for the Guitar Center, said in October the company will begin moving jobs to another call center in Indianapolis.
They are offering the positions in Indianapolis to employees here if they want to relocate. If not, they will get a severance package.
Haffeman said the last day of operations will be December 31 with some layoffs happening before that date. They will be liquidating the merchandise in November and December.
