Bimbo Bakeries USA’s commitment to product innovation and delighting consumers’ taste buds have kept delicious breads, tasty English muffins and sweet baked goods part of the American tradition for decades.

Bimbo Bakeries USA is a proud member of the Grupo Bimbo family of companies. Grupo Bimbo was founded in 1945 in Mexico City, selling cellophane-wrapped small and large white loaf bread, rye bread and toast. The same year, Osito Bimbo was introduced as the beloved logo.

Did you know that the name Bimbo is a combination of "Bingo," a popular song in America at the time, and the Disney movie "Bambi"? The name is pronounced "BEEM-BO."

Bimbo Bakeries USA's story began in 1994, when Grupo Bimbo – Mexico's largest baking company- purchased La Hacienda, a California-based tortilla company. Bimbo Bakeries USA then entered the U.S. bread market in 1997 with the acquisition of Pacific Pride Bakeries of San Diego.

The company grew again in 1998 with the purchase of Mrs. Baird's Bakeries in Texas, which at the time was the largest family-owned bakery in the U.S. The combined operations were renamed Bimbo Bakeries USA.

In 2002, BBU acquired the Western U.S. baking business of George Weston Ltd., adding iconic premium brands such as Oroweat, Entenmann's, Thomas’, and Boboli. In 2008, Grupo Bimbo purchased the remaining U.S. fresh baked goods business of George Weston Ltd., adding brands like Arnold, Brownberry, Freihofer's, and Stroehmann.

In 2011, BBU completed its largest acquisition to date: Sara Lee's North American fresh bakery business. This acquisition doubled BBU in size.

In 2020, BBU acquired Lender's Bagels from Conagra Brands. Today, BBU operates more than 55 bakeries, employs more than 20,000 associates, and distributes products through 12,000 sales routes throughout the United States.^[3]

On December 10, 2008, it was announced that Grupo Bimbo was in negotiations to purchase Weston Foods Inc., a subsidiary of George Weston Ltd., for $2.38 billion—a purchase that would make Bimbo Bakeries USA the largest bakery company in the USA. The purchase was finalized on January 21, 2009.

This acquisition added brands such as Arnold, Brownberry, Freihofer's, and Stroehmann, and granted Bimbo exclusive rights to the Weston brands in the eastern U.S. (it had already controlled the Weston brands in the western U.S. since 2002). The purchase also added 22 factories and 4,000 delivery trucks, bringing Bimbo Bakeries USA’s total to 35 factories and over 7,000 sales routes nationwide. The acquisition expanded its footprint across the lower 48 states and increased its annual sales to nearly $4 billion.

As part of the deal, the company's headquarters relocated from Fort Worth, Texas, to the former Weston Foods headquarters in Horsham, Pennsylvania.^[4]
