Irvine, California-based iHerb, an e-commerce retailer operating multiple distribution centers across the US and internationally, has announced the post-acquisition closure of its Vitacost.com fulfillment center located in Lexington, North Carolina.
The closure will affect 130 employees, effective July 1, 2026. The decision was driven by the company's desire to consolidate logistics operations.
Change is constant, and it's coming. There will always be a tomorrow, no matter how much you may try to ignore it. There are no guarantees in life, nor promises of a bright future. We see good people being laid off through no fault of their own. Just because something terrible hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't. It can happen to anyone, at any time, anywhere. No one is guaranteed to wake up tomorrow and still have a job by evening. While many employees can read the writing on the wall, why do most assume it’s targeted at someone else? Are you now wondering, Am I Next?
