The Scooter Store cuts 150 more jobs

NEW BRAUNFELS – The New Braunfels-based Scooter Store said it has eliminated about 150 jobs at its headquarters and distributions centers around the country. About 100 of the positions eliminated were at the company’s headquarters.

The reductions follow the termination of 220 employees in September. Those cuts represented less than 10 percent of the Scooter Store’s workforce, which was reduced to about 2,100 at the time, with about 1,400 employed at the company’s headquarters.

Since then, the Scooter Store said it has had a seasonal decline in its workforce, which, when factoring in the latest layoffs, now stands at about 1,800 people.

Workers issued pink slips will receive severance packages, the company said.
