Grupo Bimbo makes their stuff for the Mexican market. Most likely they’ll buy the rights to the brand in NA and then manufacture the stuff in Mexico to sell north of the border. Bye, bye union jobs...

**********************************************

They make their stuff in the market that they are sold. They are the largest US bakery, and their stuff for the US is made in the US. They have 49 bakeries and most of their products are made in the same state they are delivered. There is no other way to get the stores fresh bread.

Does everyone really think they can make bread products in Mexico, drive them across the border and then proceed to deliver them all over the US and still manage to deliver fresh bread?

Bread itself, no, but twinkies and ding-dongs, yes.

Even if you could keep the bread fresh, I doubt you could sell it at a profit in Chicago or NYC, after sending empty trucks on a round trip to Mexico, and back, even if you were given the bread at no cost.

For bread, sure. For Twinkies, cupcakes, etc, a few days of transport would not hurt them.
