Schwan’s Home Delivery is closing its depots in Powell and Riverton as it switches to a UPS delivery model for local customers.
The move will impact 11 employees between the two depots, which the company said were no longer viable to operate.
“This was not an easy decision for us to make as we have loved being a part of these communities and are grateful for the work of our employees,” said Jennifer Rock, director of corporate communications for Schwan’s.
Rock said the company is making every effort to support the 11 impacted employees but did not provide further details.
Affected customers have been notified that the company will no longer be offering its delivery service; they can order Schwan’s products online — including frozen foods — and have them delivered via UPS within two days.
Based in Minnesota, Schwan’s Home Service operates some 3,500 delivery trucks across the country. The home delivery service continues to be owned by the Schwan family that started the business in 1952. It’s separate and independent from Schwan’s Company.
