Snap Kitchen, the Austin-based grab-and-go retailer for healthier meals, is laying off 101 employees in Houston and 65 in Austin as part of a "significant company-wide reorganization," the company has announced.

No stores will close, a spokeswoman said, but operations from kitchens in two Houston-area and two Austin-area locations will shift to a new 30,000-square-foot facility in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

The new consolidated kitchen offers more cooking space to meet customer demand and will employ 200 workers, the spokeswoman said.

Snap Kitchen also has expanded into Whole Foods Market stores in Texas and other states. Earlier this summer, Forbes reported it partnered with Starbucks to sell to-go products in Houston-area Snap Kitchen cafes.

Since last April, Snap Kitchen has expanded its store locations inside of Whole Foods stores in Texas and other states. Such collaborative expansion efforts helped Snap Kitchen stake out its claim over the Chicago market in October against competitor My Fit Foods, according to the Austin Business Journal.

Earlier this summer Forbes reported that Starbucks partnered with the Austin retailer to sell to-go products in Houston area Snap Kitchen cafes.

Fitness Food Holdings Inc., Snap Kitchen's parent company, raised $2 million from a single investor in March.
