Utah-based Even Stevens — which gives one sandwich to charity for every one sold — has temporarily stopped donating to its nonprofit partners while the company restructures, officials have announced.
The 80 charities — in six states — that benefited from the buy-one, give-one program were told last week that Even Stevens would be suspending contributions for 60 days while it looks for ways to reduce costs and improve revenue, said Brooks Pickering, who was brought in by the board of directors as the company’s chief restructuring officer.
As part of the changes, Even Stevens closed five of its eight stores in Arizona last week.
