Akron Bakery being closed by Wonder Bread 0
You can know that things are really bad when even bread shops and retail store have to close down. This is what is happening with Wonder Bread which is now closing down its Akron Bakery and this has happened a year after the bakery in Columbus had been closed down. The owner of Wonder Bread brand is Hostess Brands Inc which is closing down the Akron Bakery which would lead to the loss of as many as 100 jobs in the Akron area. What’s more heart rending is to know that this bakery has weathered storms earlier and has been in operation since 1923. But the fact of the matter is that bread sales have been declining in the area, which is why the Akron Bakery no longer seems to be financially viable in its operations. In addition to this, the facility was also old and it would have cost money to replace machinery and modernize it.
Wonder Bread has made alternate plans to service the Akron area. Its bread from the Northwood bakery would be transported down to Akron, which is a process that is already being followed in terms of snack and cake products that are coming to Akron from alternate sources in Ohio and elsewhere.
