Tasty Kake, which is headquartered in Philadelphia, nearly went belly-up a few years back. That was not a union problem, but rather deficient management, as far as I can tell.
Anyhow, a baking company from one of the Carolinas took it over, introduced a few new products, and have the place humming along in great style. A happy ending for once!
Another great success story is Snyders of Hanover, PA and Lance Snack Foods from Charlotte, NC merged last year, and are really kickin’ butt in the snack world.
Good post, Tucker — thanks. I love hearing success stories like that!
Perhaps one of these concerns will successfully bid to adopt the Hostess line.
I’m would love to see Little Debbie buy their factories and brand names at dirt cheap prices and put the non-union workers back on line.
The union greed is over.
