Any Fans Of Schwan's/Yelloh?

Well, we have been for 20+ years.
The sad news is they're going out of business! After 72 years, they are ceasing operations as of Oct 31, or the next week.
Our wonderful rep/delivery guy told us Thursday. I feel terrible for him, because he was making a good living as their #1 revenue rep in this region, for about the last 7 years.
For those who don't know, they were a frozen food & ice cream home shopping & delivery company. Started in 1952, but the move toward online, instead of personal service, shopping is killing them.
Oddly enough, the first hit they took was because of the pandemic, which I find odd, because they would gave been a way to get prepared foods without having to go shopping.
Our current rep is our 3rd, with 2 moving into management. Our current rep has been coming to our house for 8 or 9 years.
We were told it was a great place to work, too.
A real shame.

only about 4 bars instead of 12. And they are tasteless. And they're usually sold out of or have discontinued everything I used to like, so I've written them off. It's a real shame.

I will say I liked them better as Schwan’s than in their current iteration, but there are several products I will miss.
