Description
The commercial chamber of the court of Saverne pronounced the liquidation of Baguette Box, and all the 150 employees who were working part-time for the company will be dismissed. Baguette Box was an Alsatian start-up that delivered fresh bread and pastries at home on demand, but it did not reach a good level of profitability.
The partner bakers who were still working with Baguette box since it was placed in receivership at the beginning of July have been informed by the company. Their goods were not paid for in May, June and early July. Founded in 2019, the company delivered to 8,000 customers every day in 400 Alsatian municipalities.
