Hostess Brands Company Description
It's no Wonder that a Hostess would show her Home Pride by serving breads and sweet treats made by Hostess Brands (formerly Interstate Bakeries Corporation). As one of the nation's largest wholesale bakers, it operates 41 bakeries and 740 bakery outlet stores, delivering baked goods to supermarkets, mass marketers, and convenience stores across the US. The company's national and regional bread brands include Wonder, Home Pride, and Beefsteak. It sells snack cakes, dounuts, and sweet-goods brands such as Hostess, Dolly Madison, and Twinkies, and also produces croutons and stuffing under the Mrs. Cubbison's and Marie Callender's brands. The company filed for bankruptcy protection in 2004 and emerged in 2009.
