Wonder Is Cutting 533 North Jersey Jobs to Build a 160,000-Square-Foot Plant in Gloucester County

Wonder Group is closing its Cranford and Fairfield, New Jersey production and distribution sites and consolidating into a new 160,000 square foot facility at 1130 Commerce Boulevard in Logan Township, Gloucester County. The move cuts 533 jobs, phased between September 16 and January 8, while the new plant is expected to open in November with roughly 550 roles. Wonder's corporate office in Parsippany stays open.

Wonder already runs 16 locations across the Philadelphia region and added 12 of them in 2025. A production hub this size landing in Logan Township, ahead of a planned IPO, tells you where the company expects its next phase of growth to come from. That's real industrial absorption in a submarket competing with Burlington and Camden counties for the same big box tenants.

For anyone holding industrial product along the I-295 and Route 322 corridor, a company committing 160,000 square feet here is worth tracking for what it signals about site selection right now: power capacity, dock count, and proximity to the Philadelphia delivery radius. Affected employees are being offered a shot at relocating to the new facility, which means Wonder is betting on South Jersey's labor pool along with its warehouse space.
