About

Meal-kit company HelloFresh is laying off 611 warehouse workers and permanently closing its facility in Richmond, California, with the layoffs effective December 11, 2022. The company, which operates in the competitive meal-kit delivery industry, cited the expiring lease and a strategic shift toward newer, more efficient sites as reasons for the closure. This move comes as HelloFresh and rivals like Blue Apron face profitability challenges amid shifting consumer habits post-pandemic, with the company's EBITDA having declined nearly 23% in the first half of 2022. The Richmond warehouse was one of two U.S. locations where employees had previously attempted to unionize in 2021, though the effort did not succeed.
