OFFICIAL CLOSURE NOTICE
It is with deep regret that we announce the closure of Foodie! and all our web-driven services.
Despite our efforts to stay afloat amid the harsh economic realities of the market we serve and the demanding task of pioneering a service model in our community, we always feared this day might come.
This decision was not taken lightly. After a careful review of our current realities, we have come to the difficult conclusion that we have no option but to close. Whether this is temporary or long-term, we cannot say for now.
While at your service, we are proud of what we achieved, serving over three hundred family-sized meals and supporting households with timely grocery deliveries when and where they were needed.
It was your stories of how much our service meant to you that kept us going, even beyond what we could sustain. Knowing that many of you will now have to seek alternatives, especially where such support is limited, is what hurts the most.
We are proud to have been among the first to test the South-East market with a full grocery and kitchen home delivery model, gaining invaluable insights into online purchasing behavior in the East, particularly through the cash-strapped economy of 2023 and the stagflationary periods of 2023 and 2025.
In navigating these challenges, we explored multiple innovative and cost-cutting measures, including being among the early adopters of electric bikes for dispatch services. However, despite these efforts, the continued strain on our resources has led us to this point.
We have vacated our aggregation office at No. 6 Nnamah Street, Awka, and have also taken down our online store (www.foodieng.com).
Foodie! is owned by Foodielife Nigeria Limited, which remains a registered entity and will continue to explore other ways of bringing succour to the everyday challenges of homes and lifestyles.
Once again, we sincerely thank you for your trust and patronage. We have cherished every moment you allowed us to be part of you.
