Flowers Baking Co. of Modesto, a subsidiary of Flowers Foods (NYSE: FLO) of Thomasville, Ga., says Thursday that it has completed an expansion of its bakery at 736 Mariposa Road that has added approximately 100 jobs.
The expansion involved installation of a new high-speed bread line and the addition of sales and distribution functions at the bakery to sell Nature’s Own, Wonder, Home Pride, and Sara Lee breads and buns throughout Northern California.
Flowers Foods acquired the Modesto bakery’s assets, which included one bun line, in July 2013. At that time, the bakery was producing buns for foodservice customers in California and had about 70 people on its payroll.
