Revol Greens warns of Medford plant closure, 89 layoffs
Revol Greens warned it will close its Medford, Minnesota greenhouse on Oct. 4, 2026, a move that would eliminate 89 jobs if no buyer or investor is found.[1]
The company filed WARN notices that carry the same Oct. 4, 2026, shutdown date for its Temple, Texas greenhouse, where 115 employees would be laid off.[1] Interim CFO Michaele Gobel said Revol's business has been hurt by a national Cyclospora outbreak tied to competing lettuce suppliers, even though Revol's greenhouse-grown products were not linked to the contamination.[1]
Revol was founded in 2016 and raised hundreds of millions of dollars to build large hydroponic lettuce greenhouses.[1] The company's operations use less water and no pesticides or herbicides, and they supply major retailers and restaurants.[1]
The WARN filings give Revol until the Oct. 4 date to find a buyer or investor and avoid the layoffs, the company said.[1] If no deal is reached, the Medford and Temple closures would together eliminate 204 positions.[1]
