Bigfoot closing its doors

Another large Okanagan employer is shutting its doors, a victim of the economic slowdown.

As first reported on CHBC, employees at Bigfoot Industries in Armstrong say the company is closing down.

The decision will affect about 130 employees.

Bigfoot Industries manufactures recreational vehicles and truck campers.

In June of this year, Bigfoot laid off about 70 employees, blaming the economy and rising fuel prices for a drop off in sales.

Bigfoot has been in business for nearly 30 years.

Calls to the company were not returned.
