The company acquired the plant as part of its acquisition of the North American Fresh Bakery business of Sara Lee Corp. that closed in November 2011. The plant made bread and buns under the Colonial, Iron Kids and Grant’s Farm brands, according to the 2013Directory & Buyers Guidepublished by Sosland Publishing Co.
