Sweetmore Bakeries has completed its acquisition of Sweet Eddie’s Inc.
The Sweet Eddie’s acquisition will add to the set of products Sweetmore Bakeries offers across retail and foodservice channels.
“We are thrilled to add Sweet Eddie’s to the Sweetmore family of bakeries,” says CEO David Veenstra. “Our goal is to serve the very best retail and foodservice customers with high quality baked goods, and by adding the complementary cinnamon roll and yeast-raised categories to our portfolio, along with a great team at Sweet Eddie’s, we will be even better positioned to do so.”

Sweetmore serves customers across the United States in the retail in-store bakery and foodservice channels, providing biscotti, brownies, dessert bars, cakes, cookies, muffins, Danish, granola, icings, fillings and more.
