French food delivery startup Epicery will cease operations Tuesday .

Epicery had been in operation for nine years .

The company had a negative Ebitda of -4.69 million in 2023 , on sales of 2.57 million .

It had 25,000 recurring customers, buying from some 1,100 local shops in Paris and Lyon .

Epicery was operating in a complex niche but doesn’t think it’s a no-go.

Now that local businesses have had a taste of this, and in a context where every sale counts, it wouldn't be too surprising to see an Epicery-like model make a comeback.

“Logistics businesses are complicated and challenging in terms of metrics, but that doesn't mean it can't be done.”.
