California’s Largest Cannabis Delivery Service Closes Down, Lays Off 500 Workers
Eaze Technologies, once the largest cannabis delivery company in California, will cease operations by December 31, 2024.
In a letter shared on LinkedIn, CEO Cory Azzalino confirmed the company’s closure. “Due to the ongoing challenges of the California cannabis market, the company’s assets were foreclosed on by our lenders on August 6, 2024.”
According to United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW), nearly 500 workers will be laid off, many of whom are represented by the union, reported SFGate.
Founded in 2014, Eaze expanded rapidly after the 2018 legalization of recreational cannabis in California, but financial struggles, ownership changes and legal battles contributed to its decline.
