Epicure Closed Down After 32 Years
According to posts circulating social media, including on Facebook from the company’s ambassadors, a long-time canadian company that sells healthy, nut-and-gluten-free kitchen and food products globally is ceasing operations.
On Friday, Jan. 24, screenshots of an email sent to ambassadors by Epicure founder Sylvie Rochette, announced the closure of the 32-year-old company.
“This was not a choice made lightly, but one born from the weight of financial challenges many in the industry have experienced following the pandemic,” noted the email.
“Despite our relentless commitment to our mission of promoting healthier living and supporting time-starved families in creating nourishing meals together, we sadly were unable to recover.”
The email noted that the company will work with MNP – an accounting, tax and business consulting firm – to determine the next steps following the closure. The Epicure website, along with some of their social media accounts, are now defunct.
Ambassadors of the company will receive further information in the next five business days, according to the email.
According to their LinkedIn, all of Epicure’s products are designed, manufactured and shipped out from its office in Canada. The company employed over 170 people in creative & marketing, research & development, finance, HR, IT, customer experience, sales, operations and distributions.
