Flowers Foods, Inc

One of the largest makers of packaged baked goods in the United States, Flowers Foods produces the bread behind familiar supermarket names like Nature's Own and Wonder. Brothers William and Joseph Flowers started out selling ice cream in 1914, then opened the Flowers Baking Company in Thomasville, Georgia, in 1919 after realizing the nearest bakery was more than 200 miles away — selling 500 loaves of "Flowers Quality Bread" on day one.
