Twinkies To Return To Shelves July 15, Hostess Says

Hostess is betting on a sweet comeback for Twinkies when they return to shelves next month.

The company that went bankrupt after an acrimonious fight with its unionized workers last year is back up and running under new owners and a leaner structure. It says it plans to have Twinkies and other snack cakes back on shelves starting July 15.



Based on the outpouring of nostalgia sparked by its demise, Hostess is expecting a blockbuster return next month for Twinkies and other sugary treats, such as CupCakes and Donettes. The company says the cakes will taste the same but that the boxes will now bear the tag line "The Sweetest Comeback In The History Of Ever."

"A lot of impostor products have come to the market while Hostess has been off the shelves," says Daren Metropoulos, a principal of the investment firm Metropoulos & Co., which teamed up with Apollo Global Management to buy a variety of Hostess snacks.

Thanks man, I really appreciate that. I just took a little break. Well, more than a little one, around a year. Mostly been keeping in touch with about 60 SOer's, and former ones through fb, but missed other SO members, so I decided to come back. It'll be nice catching up with some people. Thanks so much for the welcome back, means ALOT to me!!

Welcome back Brad!!


I will say that I'm ready for twinkies to come back. Aren't there other brands out there to take the place of twinkies, cupcakes and donettes? I say this because I would think people are still having that stuff only its a different brand.

Welcome back Brad!!

Thanks mets82!! I really appreciate that!
