Dive Brief:

Ahold Delhaize USA and supply chain solutions company Americold Realty Trust entered an agreement on July 21 to wind down operations at a distribution center in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and halt plans to open one in Plainville, Connecticut, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission filing from Americold.

In an emailed statement to Grocery Dive on Tuesday, ADUSA said the company plans to remain in the Lancaster facility through the end of this year and “will share more details on its transition in the near future.” The company added there are no changes to facility operations at this time.

The facilities had been part of Ahold Delhaize’s multi-year efforts to switch to a self-distribution model.
