Bimbo Snacks Truck on 270 South bound

On the way to work this morning my friend Hemmalaya saw this truck and was very tickled by it.  She took a picture and sent it in as her contribution to my blog.  I’ve never heard of Bimbo before and thought I’d look into it a little further to feed the inquiring minds of my readership.

Bimbo Bakeries USA is headquartered in Texas and is a part of Grupo Bimbo.  It is an international leader in baked goods and have a presence in 14 countries.  A big part of its growth is attributed to acquiring some smaller family run and owned bakeries in the past century to form Bimbo Bakeries USA.  Some of the name brands that are associated with Bimbo’s include Mrs. Baird’s, Oroweat, Bimbo, Tia Rosa, Francisco, Marinela, Boboli, Old Country, Weber’s, and Bohemian Hearth, to name a few.  The company has also acquired exclusive licenses to Entenmann’s and Thomas’ products in the Western region of the United States.  The company’s range of product lines consist of sweet and salted snacks, tortillas, pizza crust, english muffins, muffins, bagels, snack cakes,  cookies, buns, and sliced traditional and premium bread.  Wow!  I didn’t know all THAT!

Hemmalaya and I both thought the name was neat and I decided to do a little digging.  She’s seen the snacks and trucks around before.  This was my first food find on this product eventhough I’m very familiar with some of the brands this company carries.  I’m always excited to learn something new.  Hemmalaya thanks for your contribution!
