Return Of Wonder, Hostess Brands To Northwest Ohio Uncertain

Wonder Bread and other popular Hostess bread brands will return to some retailers’ shelves this fall, the new owner of those brands said this week.

But when, or if, Wonder, Home Pride, Nature’s Pride and other Hostess brands will once more occupy the shelves of stores in Toledo and northwest Ohio is uncertain.

Even less certain is whether the former Hostess Brands Inc. Bakery in Northwood will reopen at all. The bakery, which had 160 workers, closed in November after Hostess Brands filed for Chapter 7 liquidation following a dispute with its unionized workers.

Since then, other companies used a court-approved auction process to acquire most of the assets of Hostess, including its various bread and baked goods brands and its baking facilities.
