Are those those the only brands they produce? I only recognize 3 of those brands, and I can't even be sure I've ever eaten more than one of those. Maybe they are big only in certain regions?
- aendruk 2y agoI had the same reaction; recognize 3, knowingly eaten 2 (decades ago), purchased 0. It’s surprising to hear that this is the largest bakery in the US. Maybe bakeries localize well so none grow very large?
- dragonwriter 2y ago> Are those those the only brands they produce? No, the five brands explicitly marked as a non-exhaustive list (with “such as”) are not, even close to, all of their brands. https://www.bimbobakeriesusa.com/our-brands https://www.bimbobakeriesusa.com/our-brands
- kristopolous 2y agoThis reminds me of Georgia Pacific or JAB (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/JAB_Holding_Company https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/JAB_Holding_Company) You walk down the aisle and think there's 4 or 5 companies in say, paper towels, competing for your business but it's probably just 1 with different brands. Last time I checked, Whole Foods where I am carried Peet's, Stumptown, Intelligentsia and Keurig coffee, which is all just a single company. Probably comes in on the same truck. All you gotta do is literally just have different printed labels on things, Look at sunscreen and cough medicine next time you go in.
- floxy 2y agoYour link is the same as the one gumby posted. I'm not seeing a listing of 5 brands, and Ctrl-f for "such as" results in 0 matches. On that page, I see 31 brands listed: Thomas, Sara Lee, Brownberry, Oroweat (sic), Entenmann's, Arnold, Lender's, Little Bites, Ball Park, Bays, Marinela, Bimbo, Maier's, Beefsteak, Boboli, The Cheesecake Factory, Mrs Baird's, Heiner's, Emmy's Organics, Grandma Sycamore's, Tia Rosa, Stroehmann, Nature's Harvest, Freihofer's, Wholesome Harvest, Goldminer, The Rustik Oven, Grace Baking, San Luis Sourdough, Alfaro's, and Tenderflake. Is this getting close to all of their brands?
- dialup_sounds 2y agoThe store brand(s) of a given grocery store is typically made by Bimbo. "Almost all baked goods" is a stretch, but easily 50% of your bread aisle space is Bimbo. Flowers (Wonder, Nature's Own, etc.) is maybe 25% after that.
- floxy 2y agoIs this age of big data, is there a way to quantify this? Like the knowing the annual number of loaves of bread produced by Bimbo, vs. the total number of loaves?
