FreshDirect

FreshDirect, the New York City-based online grocery service, has laid off more than 100 employees, representing 3.5% of its workforce of over 3,000, as part of a corporate restructuring. This move comes two months after its parent company, Ahold Delhaize USA, announced the sale of FreshDirect to rapid delivery firm Getir. The company stated the restructuring is necessary for long-term sustainability, affecting various divisions including talent acquisition, transportation, and IT. As one of the U.S.'s pioneering online grocers, FreshDirect has faced challenges expanding beyond its core tri-state region, leading to this strategic shift in early 2024.

FreshDirect laid off 40 employees on 2022-08-25.
