The T.J. Maxx and Marshalls clothing chains will close their Manteca distribution center, which means the layoff of 68 people.

A federal notice filed Monday said the layoffs will take effect July 17 at the 912 Spreckels Ave. site. It did not give a reason.

The center has operated under an entity called NBC Manteca Merchants Inc. The discount chains are part of the TJX Cos., with more than 5,000 stores in North America, Europe and Australia. Several are in and near Stanislaus County, some of them with retail openings.

The parent company has distribution center openings in Compton, Los Angeles County, and in several other states.

The Manteca warehouse has been part of the Spreckels Business Park, completed in 1999 at Yosemite Avenue at Highway 99. For eight decades before that, it was the site of the Spreckels sugar beet refinery.

Federal law requires that layoff notices be submitted to the California Employment Development Department.
