Hostess Brands, LLC, now owned by private equity groups Apollo Global Management and Metropolis & Co., is gearing up to bring Twinkies, Ho Hos and other well-known Hostess snack cakes back to retailers’ shelves this summer.
The company recently announced that it is reopening bakeries in Columbus, Ga.; Indianapolis; Schiller Park, Ill.; and Emporia, Kan., and may open a fifth in Los Angeles. It has already begun accepting job applications at some sites and expects to begin hiring in May.
