Good Luck To Hostess

From the New York Daily News: This'll put the Twinkie back in your eye — the famous Hostess cream-filled sponge cake is making a comeback.
A reworked Hostess company on Thursday said it plans to relaunch its bakeries after a financial meltdown last November forced the iconic snack maker to declare bankruptcy.
After months of restructuring, Hostess is ready to get back to churning out sweets, which means those with a sweet tooth will be able to get a Twinkie fix this summer.
“We expect to be making and selling in July,” Michael Cramer, executive vice president of Hostess Brands LLC, told NBC News. “Probably the later half of the month before the product hits the stores.”

While Hostess may think they are coming back, they are going to find it hard to get shelf space.
I know at the Wal-Mart I work at, Great Value along with about 4 other brands or more have taken the spot of Hostess on shelves.
Good luck to Hostess and hope they don't have to bother with union thugs.
