Popular South Australian ready-made meal business EatWell by Kitchenhand will close its doors at the end of this month, after nearly 30 years in operation.
The announcement was made on social media, with the owners stating the decision was made with a “heavy heart.”
“After almost 30 years of providing nutritious and healthy meals to you and our great South Australian community, it is with a heavy heart that we inform you of the closure of our business,” the post read.
“This decision has not been an easy one, and it comes after careful consideration of various factors that have impacted our ability to continue serving you at the level we aspire to.”
Founded by Tina Germanos and co-owned by Leanne Cittadini, EatWell by Kitchenhand was known for its wide range of over 70 nutritious ready-to-eat meals made from South Australian produce.
The award-winning brand was stocked in nearly 100 locations across the state, including supermarkets and independent outlets.
“We want to take this opportunity to express our deepest gratitude for your support and loyalty throughout the years,” the owners said, acknowledging their customers’ trust and support.
The company, which won several awards at the National Australian Food Awards and SA Premier’s Food and Beverage Industry Awards, will take final meal orders until March 24.
The Keswick factory outlet will remain open until 4pm on March 28.
