Articles from Sweetmore Bakeries

Sweetmore Bakeries, a Chicago-based family of specialty bakeries serving retail in-store bakery and foodservice channels nationwide, has completed an acquisition of Fantasy Baking Co., a leading manufacturer of private label and branded sweet baked products, including cookies, fruit filled bars, and dessert bars. The acquisition marks Sweetmore's sixth facility and its first on the West Coast, extending its manufacturing footprint across the Northeast, Midwest, Southeast, Southwest, and West. Following Shore Capital's 2025 recapitalization of Sweetmore, the addition of Fantasy Baking further expands the company's scale, strengthens its position in the key cookie and baked bar categories, and advances its long-term strategy of building a coast-to-coast network for premium sweet baked goods.
