Reportedly, the used car retailer sent an email to employees informing them the company was ceasing all operations, closing its headquarters in Memphis, Tennessee, and that all employees would be terminated by the end of the business day. The headquarters employs roughly 288 people. Allegedly, this closure email came a day after the company had sent another message to staff stating management and advisor had been working with lenders in efforts to improve liquidity and continue operations.

Shub Law is investigating whether American Car Center violated the federal Workers Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (“WARN Act”). The WARN Act requires certain employers to provide 60 calendar-day advance notice of plant closings and mass layoffs of employees. A covered employer’s failure to provide the required 60-day notice of a mass layoff under the WARN Act can result in an employer being obligated to pay back pay and benefits for each day of the violation.
