Hostess sells Wonder Bread and five other brands to Tastykakes
2013-01-14
[DAILYMAIL.CO.UK]
  • Flower Foods has offered $390 million for Wonder Bread, Nature's Pride, Butternut, Home Pride, Merita and Beef Steak
  • It has been selected as the 'stalking horse' bidder, which means higher competing bids can still be made
  • Hostess expected to announce buyers for its famed dessert cakes soon
  • The company announced in November that it was shutting down

#9  Flowers owns Tastykakes. Non union workers for flowers and Tastykakes. Independents and warehouse delivery.

#8  EinT, Beef Steak rye bread was my favorite for many years starting probably 40 years ago. Large slices great flavor and caraway seeds. Made wonderful sandwichs; roast beef with swiss, lettuce & tomato, etc. good stuff.

#7  They're buying the brand not necessarily the factories. You got to wonder how lawyers can advertize on TV so much and avoid this wonderful opportunity to create new 'injury' law against the agents that doomed people's livelihoods. If you can sue for a disease for which you have no symptoms, and thus no real injury, why can't you sue those who took your job away by reckless and willful practice?
