They are not closed. The judge ordered mediation between union and corporate! Lets hope they reach a deal and don't shut down!

I couldn't believe I went to 7 stores and NOTHING was left. Never occurred to me to run and buy it all.

Possible rumor that Flowers Foods may buy some Hostess recipes. Anyone know how good they are at labeling? I've never used any of their products.




I was in the grocery store last night and noticed Bunny Bread makes mini donuts.  They are owned by Flower Foods.  This is the first time I've seen the donuts.  Here's the list of their brands...

In my experience Hostess has not been helpful when calling. They didn't want to give me plant codes and only wanted me to call about specific products at the time I wanted to buy them.

This information may not be helpful to most since it seems these bakeries tend to be regional, but I got a call back from Lewis Bakeries who is the regional distributor of the Bunny Bread products for my area.  I asked about the Bunny Mini Donuts that come in a bag, both powdered and chocolate.  I was told there is coconut on the same line, but no other nuts.  However, there are pecans in the same facility.
