Bonita Springs-headquartered Innovative Food Holdings Inc., a national seller of gourmet specialty foods to professional chefs, closed on a transaction to sell its consumer e-commerce business, igourmet.com, for $700,000 in cash, plus the assumption of approximately $350,000 of gift card liabilities to an undisclosed buyer. The company’s Pennsylvania facility is not included in the transaction, company officials said.
