Twinkies returning to store shelves this July
Twinkies are returning to store shelves this July, according to the brand's new owners, hedge funds Apollo Global Management and Metropoulos & Co., who formed the new Hostess Brands, LLC. Twinkies stopped production in November when Hostess Brands Inc. filed for bankruptcy following a lengthy standoff with the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union.
The announcement that Hostess plans to sell its Twinkies and other snack cake brands is expected to be good news for Emporia.
