Who We AreMcKee Foods is best known for its line of Little Debbie® snack cakes. Little Debbie® is America’s leading snack cake brand in unit sales because we provide consumers with quality products of excellent value. McKee Foods’ annual sales are about $1.4 billion.
The company wasfounded in 1934 when a young couple, O.D. and Ruth McKee, bought Jack’s Cookie Company, a small bakery in Chattanooga, Tenn., and started baking small cakes. The business was known as McKee Baking Company from the 1950s until 1991, when the name was changed to McKee Foods Corporation.
McKee Foods was the first bakery to sell individually wrapped cakes in a multipack carton. In 1960 the company introduced the Little Debbie brand and began selling the individually wrapped cakes in multipack cartons. The product line was named after a granddaughter of the founders. A carton of 12 cakes had a suggested retail price of 49 cents at that time. Twelve cakes would have cost 60 cents if sold separately.
What We MakeOur largest baked goods brand is the Little Debbie brand, with a wide range of favorites from Apple Pies to Zebra Cakes. We offer seasonal items in rotation, such as the Christmas Tree Cakes®. Our products are sold in all 50 states and Canada.
