If you like your Archway cookies, better get them fast — that is, if it's not too late.
A sign in the cookie aisle at the North Anthony Scott's Foods on Monday said, “Effective immediately, Archway and Mother's cookies has closed and stopped operations.”
[. . .]
A message left at the company's headquarters in Battle Creek, Mich., wasn't returned, and a woman who answered the phone at the Ashland, Ohio, plant today said it had closed. A news release issued by the company, Archway & Mother's Cookie Co., said it has filed bankruptcy under Chapter 11 and has discontinued U.S. manufacturing operations. The company also sold products under the Mother's Cake & Cookie Co. subsidiary. The company's Canadian plant was not affected by the bankruptcy.
While other folks were snapping up fancy cookies, I stuck with the soft and chewy Archways. Nothing better than raspberry-filled cookies and a cold glass of milk. Stories I've seen elsewhere said the company was done in by rising fuel and ingredient prices. Another victim of the failed Bush policies!

Now, that's a loss - yes I was thinking of those exact cookies, the raspberry-filled, a couple of days ago. Is the Sunbeam bread place still open close to downtown ? I remember the last time I was in Ft Wayne, the smell of baking bread when I drove in that direction.
Still smells good.
WTF????
You have GOT to be kidding me!
Christmas WITHOUT my "Almond Nougats" and "Snickerdoodles"?
How heinous in execution, how deleterious in design!
'm with you 100% on the raspberry/strawberry-filled oatmeals.
Yummy.
Lookie, lookie, lookie...(no more) Archway cookie!
(doesn't have the same RING to it).
:(
