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.
