Nah, these are internationally known trademarks. They will get sold to other food conglomerates and continue on.

nopes they gonna Liquidate everything!

186,000 jobs GONE!

18,500 I meant

Yes Liquidate, as in 'Sell Off'.

Liquidation is not 'Abandon In Place' like no longer useful track.

Odds are many of the antiquated production facilities will close and only the newest will remain.


"The brands are valuable and will certainly be sold," said David Pauker, a restructuring specialist with Goldin Associates who sat on the board of Hostess's predecessor Interstate Bakeries and has worked in the food industry.

"They will most likely be purchased by a competitor that will bolt the additional sales to a better and more efficient delivery system. The company itself won't survive."


Grupo Bimbo, McKee Foods - Little Debbie snack cakes, Flower Foods- Tastykake, Weston Foods are but a small fraction of buyers already lining up.

"Liquidate" means "Sell." Someone like Little Debbie or Bimbo bakeries will buy the Twinkies brand and sell them, just you watch.

Never liked them to begin with.

reminds me of when Langendorf Bakeries went out of biusness (At that time it was 'GoodStuff Bakeries' ) Literally closed the doors cause the land was worth more than the bakery made in a year. My dad lost his job and has been unenployed since.
I bet Bimbo bakeries out of Mexico will either buy their debt at auction, and resume the brands, Or they will purchase most of the equipt (ovens and cooling racks for their own facilities.
Fn derp unions . Wont take a 3% pay cut, heres 100% Le derrrrrpppp! I feel sorry for all those that lost their job, in a craptastic economy.

It was an 8% pay cut, and then stipulated a 3% pay increase for each the next 3 years and a 1% increase in the 4th year.

CEO said he intends to sell their 30 brands to other companies. That's what they mean by liquidate
