Titan International to close Jackson, Tennessee plant, cut 140 jobs
Titan International Inc. (NYSE:TWI) announced Wednesday it will close its Jackson, Tennessee manufacturing facility by the end of October as part of a production consolidation effort. The move comes as the company grapples with financial headwinds, including a significant debt burden and weak gross profit margins of just 13% in the last twelve months.
Located at 2500 Dr. F.E. Wright Drive, the closure will affect approximately 140 employees. Production currently performed at the Jackson site will be transferred to other existing Titan facilities over the coming months, according to a company press release.
Titan manufactures off-highway wheels, tires, assemblies, and undercarriage products. The company stated the consolidation aims to optimize its manufacturing footprint and improve capacity utilization.
Life Insurance – Why waiting costs you more
Life insurance is one of the most important—and most misunderstood—financial tools available today. Many people delay purchasing it, assuming they’ll “get to it later.” The reality is simple: life insurance only gets more expensive over time, and waiting can significantly limit your options.
This guide breaks down the types of life insurance, how they work, and why buying sooner rather than later is almost always the better decision.
What Is Life Insurance?
At its core, life insurance is a contract designed to provide financial protection to your family or business in the event of your death. In exchange for a premium, the insurance company pays a tax-free benefit to your beneficiaries.
That benefit can be used for:
- Income replacement
- Paying off debt (mortgage, loans, etc.)
- Funding children’s education
- Covering business obligations
- Preserving generational wealth
The Main Types of Life Insurance
- Term Life Insurance
Best for: Affordable protection for a specific period
- Coverage for 10, 20, or 30 years
- Lower cost
- Fixed premiums
- No cash value
- Whole Life Insurance
Best for: Permanent coverage with guarantees
- Lifetime coverage
- Fixed premiums
- Guaranteed cash value growth
- Potential dividends
- Universal Life Insurance
Best for: Flexibility
- Adjustable premiums
- Adjustable death benefit
- Cash value tied to interest rates or market performance
Includes Indexed (IUL) and Variable (VUL) options.
The Most Overlooked Feature: Locking in Your Health
One of the most valuable—and least talked about—features of life insurance is the ability to lock in your current health rating at the time you purchase the policy.
Many policies include provisions (often through conversion options or guaranteed insurability features) that allow you to:
- Use your original health rating later
- Increase or convert coverage without new medical underwriting
- Avoid being penalized for future health changes
Why This Matters
Let’s say you buy a policy today while you’re healthy.
Five or ten years from now:
- You develop high blood pressure
- Or are diagnosed with diabetes
- Or have another medical issue
Normally, those conditions would:
- Increase your premium significantly
- Or disqualify you from coverage entirely
But if you structured your policy correctly, you can still access coverage based on your original, healthier profile.
This is essentially an endorsement on your future insurability—and it can be incredibly valuable.
Why Life Insurance Gets More Expensive Over Time
Life insurance pricing is driven by:
- Age
- Health
- Risk
As those factors change, so does your cost.
Popeyes closes Jackson location on North Highland – Health Concerns
JACKSON, Tenn. — The Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen at 1921 N. Highland Ave. has shut down.
As of this week, the restaurant’s page on the official Popeyes website lists all days as “Closed,” and a sign posted on the door confirms the location is no longer operating.
The closure follows a series of subpar health inspections. A February 26, 2026, inspection by the Jackson-Madison County Regional Health Department gave the restaurant a score of 76, with issues including mice droppings. A more recent March 9 inspection improved slightly to an 88, but the earlier failing marks appear to have contributed to mounting problems at the aging location.
