Bloomington, Minnesota-based Yelloh!, formerly known as Schwan’s Home Delivery, a direct-to-consumer food delivery company that provides customers with frozen foods for every mealtime occasion, has announced a significant reorganization, including the closure of delivery centers and a major reduction in force.
The reorganization will impact 750 employees in the company's sales, field, and corporate teams and the closure of 90 delivery centers, commencing on December 8, 2023.
According to a company spokesperson, “Facing economic headwinds, rising business costs, and the post-pandemic world, our teams across the country have worked valiantly to transform our company into a modern category leader. Despite those efforts, and like many retail businesses, we must now close locations and face a difficult reality.”
"This is a heartbreaking decision for our company because we cherish our customers, our employees, and the special role our team members play in our local communities. Concentrating our high-touch delivery service in fewer locations – in states that are the foundation for our 70-year-old company – is the best path forward for Yelloh."
Change is coming. There will always be a tomorrow, no matter how much you may try to ignore it. There are no guarantees in life or promises for a bright future. We see good people being laid off through no fault of their own. Just because something bad hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't. It can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere. No one is guaranteed to wake up tomorrow and still have a job by evening. Are you now wondering, Am I Next?
