My family tells me that all of us kids got sweets whenever we went there in the 1970’s to buy bread. Being about four years old at the time, I can’t really remember that.
I definitely do remember loving Twinkies when I was a baby. Strangely, I also remember seeing the Wonder Bread logo on the backs of trucks when we were driving.
That factory had a long run. It closed only in 2011, believe it or not, after being in business for 130 years. 130 years … wow.

Burlington Iowa had one of these, I believe. I never bought bread form it, though I hear you could. I don’t know if its still open or not.
