Wonder Bread and Hostess Cakes will soon have a new warehouse facility in the Cape Girardeau area. Tom Kelsey, commercial broker with Lorimont Place, Ltd. has announced the national wholesale food company has leased a warehouse and office building in Scott City, located at 1301 Warner Street.

Kelsey said the new 5,000 square foot facility would headquarter the bread and cake division's distributing operation for much of the Southeast Missouri region.

Wonder Bread is part of Interstate Bakeries Corporation (IBC).  With headquarters in Kansas City, Missouri, IBC is the largest national wholesale baker and distributor of fresh delivered bread and snack cakes in the United States.  They currently have 34,000 employees at 63 bakeries, including St. Louis, Missouri.
