Aspire Bakeries announces expansion of bakery in Newark, CA and new frozen cookie dough line
Aspire Bakeries has announced the expansion of its Newark, California, bakery, with the addition of a new frozen cookie dough line for its popular Otis Spunkmeyer cookies. As the #1 brand in foodservice frozen cookie dough, Otis Spunkmeyer continues to grow sales within the cookie category, and in foodservice, convenience and retail channels.
“Our Newark bakery is expanding following a surge in demand for our delicious Otis Spunkmeyer cookies,” said Laura Shannon, chief operations officer of Aspire Bakeries. The new cookie line increases Aspire Bakeries’ capacity for its highly popular Otis Spunkmeyer branded and custom frozen cookie dough, which is sold to foodservice, retail, and convenience operators in frozen pucks and baked fresh on-site. This boost in capacity will enable Aspire Bakeries to increase the company’s frozen cookie dough supply to meet its increasing customer demand. Production will start in the fall. In preparation, the Newark bakery is hiring new employees from the community to start later this month.
