Overview
- Clover Food Lab said it is pursuing a buyer and has told Massachusetts it could cut 182 jobs effective May 29 if a deal does not close.
- The company called the layoff notice a legal requirement during a potential sale and declined to share details about bidders or timing.
- The Cambridge-based chain runs 11 restaurants across Greater Boston along with a meal box service and a catering business, and it no longer operates food trucks.
- The plant-forward brand filed for Chapter 11 in 2023, then exited in 2024 with about 240 employees and public goals to add up to 50 locations.
- The outcome of a sale could determine whether jobs are preserved or lost and could reshape which restaurants, services, and menus the next owner keeps.
