Produces breads, buns, rolls, tortillas, and snack items under brands including Nature’s Own, Dave’s Killer Bread, and Simple Mills. Products move through 44 bakeries to supermarkets, drugstores, mass merchandisers, convenience stores, and foodservice customers across the United States.
The portfolio spans mainstream, organic, gluten-free, and better-for-you bakery and snack offerings. Simple Mills broadened it into crackers, cookies, snack bars, and baking mixes; management reports the combined business as one reportable segment.
Distribution depends on direct-store delivery with independent distributors, warehouse delivery, and employee-run service in some markets. California uses an employment distribution model after a phased repurchase of covered distribution rights.
