In a landmark moment in Colorado beer and business history, Molson Coors announced Wednesday that it will move its North American headquarters from Denver to Chicago and cut up to 500 jobs across its international offices.
The beer giant employs 2,300 people in Colorado, according to Molson Coors. About 300 of those employees work in the Denver office, and “a lot of those people will be offered jobs and relocation packages to remain with the company and their teams,” Matt Hargarten, a Molson Coors spokesman, told The Denver Post on Wednesday.
Some executives may be offered the opportunity to relocate to Chicago, while some support staff may be offered positions in Milwaukee. The staffing changes will be made by the end of 2019.
