FreshDirect restructures corporate division, cuts jobs
The layoffs come two months after Ahold Delhaize USA announced it was selling the online grocery service to rapid delivery firm Getir.
FreshDirect plans to restructure its corporate division and is laying off more than 100 workers as part of that process, a spokesperson for the company confirmed via email.
The New York City-based e-grocer plans to eliminate 3.5% of its workforce, per the email. FreshDirect employs over 3,000 people at its headquarters in the Bronx.
“This corporate restructuring is a necessary step to position FreshDirect for long-term sustainability and success. We understand the impact this has on those affected and FreshDirect is committed to supporting these employees with resources, including severance packages, counseling, and assistance with outplacement services,” the FreshDirect spokesperon said in a statement.
