Yelloh, Formerly Schwan's, to Cease Operations After 72 Years

The frozen food delivery service will shut down in November, citing insurmountable business challenges and evolving consumer behaviors.

  • Yelloh, once known as Schwan's, will permanently close its operations in November after 72 years in business.
  • CEO Bernardo Santana and board member Michael Ziebell attributed the shutdown to staffing issues, supply chain disruptions, and intense competition.
  • The company, known for its iconic yellow delivery trucks, was particularly valued in rural areas with limited supermarket access.
  • Yelloh rebranded from Schwan's in 2022 in an effort to modernize and stay connected to its roots.
  • The last day for customers to purchase meals from Yelloh trucks will be November 8, affecting approximately 1,100 employees.
