Revol Greens

Revol Greens filed WARN notices stating that if it cannot secure new financing, strategic partners or a buyer, it may permanently close its Temple, Texas greenhouse on Oct. 4, 2026, which would eliminate 115 local jobs. The Minnesota-based leafy greens producer said the notice is precautionary while it explores financing and strategic alternatives and intends to maintain normal operations during the 60-day WARN period. The company cited market disruption in the lettuce category following a Cyclospora outbreak (which regulators traced to another supplier) and weakened consumer demand that has complicated financing discussions. Revol also issued WARN notices potentially affecting all 89 workers at its Minnesota operations, underscoring broader financing and market challenges for the company.

Revol Greens filed WARN notices on Aug. 5 saying it will close its lettuce greenhouse facilities in Owatonna, Minnesota and Temple, Texas, and that all job losses would occur on Oct. 4, 2026 unless a buyer or new financing is secured. The Minnesota filing states about 89 Minnesota workers would be laid off and the Texas notice covers 115 workers at the Temple greenhouse, for a total of 204 employees affected. The company characterized the WARN filings as a precaution while it negotiates with potential investors, lenders and strategic partners, and said both greenhouses continue to operate normally. Revol Greens tied its difficulties to a national cyclospora outbreak that has reduced consumer demand for iceberg lettuce and complicated financing discussions, and warned the closures would be permanent absent a sale or additional funding.

Revol Greens filed a WARN notice saying it may close its original Minnesota greenhouse in Medford, MN and lay off an estimated 89 employees if the site or company is not sold or does not secure additional funding by October 4, 2026. The company submitted the notice through interim CFO Michaele Gobel and characterized the action as a precaution while it pursues investors, lenders and strategic partners. Revol Greens said the market disruption from a recent industry-wide Cyclospora outbreak has hurt consumer demand for lettuce and complicated financing discussions. The company intends to continue normal operations during the 60-day notice period while seeking solutions to preserve operations and has not definitively ceased operations.
