Hostess Brands, Inc. (Nasdaq: TWNK), makers of iconic American snack cakes like Twinkies, Ding Dongs, Ho Hos and CupCakes, visited the Nasdaq MarketSite in Times Square on Thursday, November 10, to celebrate the company’s listing on The Nasdaq Stock Market.
Hostess has seen considerable changes over the past four years. In November 2012, Hostess filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. But in 2013, a new Hostess Brands company was formed under the leadership of Apollo Global Management and Metropoulos & Co. By June of that year, the bakeries were operational, with its range of classic snack cakes hitting stores by July.
