My Fit Foods Calls It Quits, Immediately Closes All Locations
Austin-based healthy prepared meals company My Fit Foods has abruptly closed all of its more than 50 locations in five states. "It is with a heavy heart that we announce the closure of all our stores," a notice posted on the company's website over the weekend said.
KPRC-TV reported that all employees were let go Sunday with no warning. TV crews visited several My Fit Food locations Sunday evening to find all of them closed with a sign announcing the closure.
My Fit Foods came under scrutiny when the founder and CEO was arrested in 2015 and charged with possession of a controlled substance. David Goronkin came in as the new CEO. In 2016, Gorokin secured an undisclosed amount of equity funding from the American Farm Bureau Federation to support the company's growth plan.
My Fit Foods has been closing stores while its closest competitor, Snap Kitchen, is opening them. Last October, My Fit Foods closed its three stores in Chicago. Snap Kitchen has six in Chicago underway.
