My Fit Foods — an Austin-based chain of stores that sold healthy, freshly prepared meals — abruptly closed all of its stores over the weekend, the company wrote on its website.
“It is with a heavy heart that we announce the closure of all our stores,” the company said in a statement. “We know that you have depended upon us to support your healthy habits, and we are deeply sorry for any inconvenience our closure may have caused you.”
The company did not immediately respond to an email requesting comment.
My Fit Foods first opened in Houston in 2006 but moved to Austin in 2013. The company operated more than 50 locations in five states, according to a news release, three of which were located in San Antonio.
The company — which specialized in meal planning — sold prepackaged, low-calorie meals such as pasta with ground turkey; zucchini served with chicken breast, pesto and sun-dried tomatoes; spinach and chicken enchiladas; and chicken Parmesan.
My Fit Foods had secured a confidential sum from the American Farm Bureau Federation to fund the company’s growth strategy and pursue partnerships with grocers alongside majority investor Marlin Equity Partners, the company said in a September news release.
