FedEx Supply Chain is pulling the plug on its Coppell facility, a move that will put about 856 workers on a countdown to job loss starting Jan. 16, 2026. The wind-down affects the warehouse in the 800 block of West Sandy Lake Road in Coppell, with the shutdown scheduled to wrap up by April 29, 2026. Company officials told employees they will keep receiving wages and benefits through their final day on the job and will get details on potential openings at nearby FedEx locations.
Those specifics come from a notice filed with the Texas Workforce Commission and reported by WFAA. The company characterized the move as a discontinuance of the Coppell operation, with the first round of separations set for Jan. 16, 2026. The filing lists FedEx Supply Chain Logistics & Electronics, Inc. as the employer and identifies 856 affected team members. According to the report, employees will be given information on other roles within the FedEx system, and pay and benefits will continue through each person’s last scheduled day.
Earlier Cuts In North Texas
The Coppell closure is only the latest step in FedEx’s effort to reshape its North Texas footprint after multiple WARN filings earlier this year. The Houston Chronicle reported that a separate notice will trim about 305 jobs at a Fort Worth FedEx Supply Chain facility on Independence Parkway. In late June, other filings flagged roughly 131 cuts across Garland and Plano, according to the The Dallas Morning News.
What FedEx Says And What Employees Can Expect
FedEx has said impacted workers were notified in advance and that the company is offering support that can include job placement help, relocation assistance or severance where applicable. In a statement summarized by Spectrum News, the company added that many employees may qualify for other positions inside FedEx and that notices are being issued in line with WARN Act timing requirements.
Part Of A Broader Consolidation
Industry filings this year point to a pattern in which large customer contracts that move to new providers can quickly reshape staffing at third‑party logistics facilities. Similar WARN notices have surfaced in other cities. A Memphis filing, for instance, listed about 611 affected positions after a client shifted operations, according to reporting by WSMV. The trend highlights how client decisions can rapidly alter local workforces even when a company maintains some presence at a site.
Legal Note
Under the federal WARN Act, employers generally must provide 60 days’ notice before plant closures or mass layoffs, and the Texas Workforce Commission maintains public WARN records along with rapid‑response resources for displaced workers, according to the Texas Workforce Commission. Those filings are the source for the dates and totals that employers report when they plan phased separations.
Workers covered by the Coppell notice are advised to talk with their HR representatives and can connect with local workforce offices for job search assistance and training options. FedEx has said it will share job postings and support information with affected team members as the transition unfolds.
