LATROBE — Giant Eagle has closed a bottling plant in southwestern Pennsylvania once owned by the now-defunct Le-Nature's and cut 86 jobs there.

Chestnut Ridge Beverage had bottled water, teas and carbonated drinks for the Pittsburgh-based supermarket chain and other businesses.

The plant was closed in November 2006, when Le-Nature's was forced into bankruptcy. Giant Eagle bought it for $22.3 million in a bankruptcy court auction in September 2007.

Rob Borella, a Giant Eagle spokesman, told a Pittsburgh newspaper the plant was closed to cut costs and streamline its supply chain.
