Online retailer closes fulfillment center north of Charlotte, laying off 130 people.

Online retailer closes fulfillment center north of Charlotte, laying off 130 people. Updated April 30, 2026 4:16 PM Gift Article A health and wellness online retailer is closing its fulfillment center in Davidson County and laying off 130 people. In July, Vitacost will be shuttering its fulfillment center in Lexington at 130 Lexington Parkway, according to a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN) report filed on April 29. Such notices are required by federal law during mass layoffs. Because of the closure, Vitacost will lay off 130 workers by July 1. Lexington is about 50 miles north of Charlotte. Vitacost has undergone several changes since 2014. That year, the company was bought by Kroger for $280 million, news outlets previously reported. The plan was to use Vitacost's online platform to propel Kroger's home delivery service. But that ended in January. Kroger sold Vitacost to IHerb, a similar ecommerce company selling vitamins and other health and wellness products. The sale was a part of Kroger's efforts to "simplify" the organization, according to a Kroger news release. After "reviewing all non-core assets," selling Vitacost was the next step, the release continued. It's unclear how much Kroger sold Vitacost for. IHerb shuttered the Lexington fulfillment center for similar reasons. With the acquisition and after a review of the company's U.S. logistics network, IHerb decided to close the Lexington site to consolidate operations, according to an IHerb spokeswoman. About Vitacost. Vitacost launched in 1994 to provide affordable and accessible healthcare supplements. In 2008, the Florida-based company opened a fulfillment center in Lexington. In 2010, it expanded that center with a $6.7 million investment, according to a state news release. Vitacost also used a $450,000 grant from the state for the project. After the acquisition by IHerb, layoffs began for Vitacost. In Las Vegas, 113 people were laid off in March. This story was originally published April 30, 2026 at 2:03 PM.
