Schwan’s Home Delivery Shuts Down Two Indiana Delivery Centers, Impacting 21 Employees

Yelloh, a Minnesota-based food delivery company formerly known as Schwan’s Home Delivery, is shutting down two of its Indiana delivery centers. The company, Cygnus Home Services LLC, announced that it will be ceasing operations in Elkhart and Muncie on July 27th. This move will impact 21 employees who are not represented by a union and do not have bumping rights.

Despite their efforts to turn their business around locally, Yelloh stated that they do not see a profitable path forward for these depots. They are committed to taking care of their impacted team members and supporting customers in transitioning to online or app-based ordering solutions.

This announcement comes eight months after Yelloh detailed plans to close 90 delivery centers and cut 750 jobs nationwide. However, the Schwan family retained ownership of the Schwan’s Home Delivery business and rebranded it as Yelloh in 2022. In Indiana, Yelloh still has several delivery centers in Danville, Decatur, Evansville, Monticello, North Vernon, Terre Haute, Valparaiso, Wabash, and Washington.

Schwan’s began home delivery in 1952 and was sold to the Korean firm CJ CheilJedang for $1.8 billion in 2018. However, the family retained ownership of the Schwan’s Home Delivery business and rebranded it as Yelloh in 2022. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
