NBC 4: The Kansas City owner of Downtown’s Wonder Bread Bakery announced the bakery at 697 N. 4th St, soon will end production. Interstate Bakeries Corporation (IBC) said Tuesday that it will close its bread bakeries in Columbus, Ohio, and Springfield, Mo., due to changing consumer preferences and market conditions.
IBC expects production at the bakeries will end by May 9, 2009. An IBC spokesperson said the closing will affect 126 Columbus jobs. Columbus’ Wonder Bread thrift shops will not be affected and will remain open.
IBC said that local market developments, including declines of bread volume from customer purchases made it necessary for it to rationalize its production capacity. IBC said the bakery closures won’t impact its customers who will continue to receive the same great tasting, high-quality IBC bread products on which they rely, delivered from other IBC bakeries in Missouri and Ohio as well as Illinois, Kansas, Oklahoma and Indiana.
