Otis Spunkmeyer is an American manufacturer and distributor of baked goods, particularly known for its cookies, muffins, and other sweet snacks. Founded in 1977 by Ken Rawlings in Oakland, California, the company began as a retail cookie shop before expanding into a wholesale business model. The company pioneered the concept of in-store baking programs for food service operators, providing frozen cookie dough to various establishments. This innovation allowed businesses to offer freshly baked cookies without the need for from-scratch preparation. By the 1980s, Otis Spunkmeyer had established itself as a major supplier to restaurants, cafeterias, and convenience stores across the United States. In 2006, the company was acquired by ARYZTA AG, a global food business based in Switzerland. The acquisition expanded Otis Spunkmeyer’s distribution network and manufacturing capabilities. The company operates multiple manufacturing facilities across the United States and maintains a significant presence in the food service industry. Otis Spunkmeyer’s product line includes cookies, muffins, pastries, and pre-packaged snacks sold through retail channels and food service distributors. The brand is particularly well-known in institutional settings such as schools, hospitals, and corporate cafeterias. Despite changes in ownership, the company continues to use its original recipes and maintains its reputation for quality baked goods.
