Junk food junkie alert: Look for Twinkies on store shelves in July.
Four former Hostess snack cake bakeries around the country, are scheduled to re-open within eight to 10 weeks.
“Hooray!” said Kent Heermann, president of the Regional Development Association of East Central Kansas, which includes Emporia, Kan., where one of the plants is located.
An investment group, which bought assets and rights to several products after Hostess Brands Inc. liquidated last year, confirmed this week that bakeries in Emporia; Columbus, Ga.; Schiller Park, Ill.; and Indianapolis will begin hiring soon.
