Flowers Foods

About

We're one of the largest producers of packaged bakery foods in the United States, with 2024 sales reaching $5.1 billion. What started as a small bakery in Thomasville, Georgia back in 1919 has grown into a nationwide operation with 44 bakeries across 19 states, employing more than 10,000 team members. We make breads, buns, rolls, snack items, bagels, English muffins, and tortillas under brands you probably know - Nature's Own (America's best-selling bread), Dave's Killer Bread (the #1 organic bread brand), Canyon Bakehouse, Simple Mills, Wonder, and Tastykake.

Most of our products get to stores through a network of independent distributor partners, which covers about 85% of the U.S. population. We're not just about baking though - we're guided by values that include honesty and integrity, respect and inclusion, sustainability, passion, and humility. Our strategy focuses on developing our team, building our brands, prioritizing margins, and making smart acquisitions. We've been at this for over a century, and we're still finding ways to innovate and grow while staying true to our roots.
