Hostess has buyers lined up already. And those buyers want the brands and the recipes only. The don’t want the Hostess drivers and bakers. They already have their own. And any private equity company that might buy the brands will not buy the operations and bakeries, either. The baking business is a terrible business these days and there’s a ton of overcapacity.
You'd think with Baraq handing out all those food stamps and TANF the business would be booming.
