Once popular food delivery company in Colorado, Schwan’s, is shutting down

There were a ton of reasons I loved visiting my grandma’s house while I was growing up, but one of my favorites was always raiding her freezer that was stocked full of ice cream treats from the Schwan’s man, as we called the famous frozen food delivery service. Sadly, the Schwan’s man will soon be extinct.

Technically, Schwan’s Food Company hasn’t been around for a little over two years, as they rebranded to the name “Yelloh,” as a nod to their yellow delivery trucks, in 2022, but soon even that will be gone.

Yelloh (Schawan’s) closed all Colorado warehouse and delivery facilities in December of 2023, but the company continued to serve 18 states with its iconic yellow trucks, and anyone could still order through Yelloh.com and have it shipped UPS in an insulated cooler.

Sadly, all of it is going away soon… According to USA Today, the final day to purchase food straight from a Yelloh truck is Nov. 8, and they’ll completely cease all operations in late-November.
