A Richmond grocery delivery service is winding down corporate operations in Richmond following a merger with another similar company. While customers may see improved and more convenient service following the move, it also means the business’s Scott’s Addition warehouse and its employees will get the ax, BizSense reports.

From Richmond BizSense:

Relay Foods, an online grocer headquartered in Charlottesville, is closing its Richmond distribution warehouse in Scott’s Addition as the brand is being dissolved into Denver-based Door to Door Organics as part of a merger announced earlier this year.

On Jan. 15, Relay Foods will cease operations and its Richmond and Charlottesville warehouses will close. Dozens of employees in Virginia will be laid off as a result, including an unspecified number in Richmond and 48 in Charlottesville. Grocery delivery services will continue in Richmond through the Door to Door brand.
