According to report in Arkansas
Business, Bake-Line Group in North Little Rock suspended operations
today.
About 100 workers at the plant make cookies and crackers, but a
sign taped to the plant`s doors announced the shut down to workers.
The company also ceased operations at its other manufacturing
plants, according to Ron Bottrell of Dome Communications in
Chicago, the company`s acting spokesman.
Bake-Line Group notified all its plants Friday that it would
shut down in 60 to 90 days. The company suspended operations today
because promised funding did not come through, Bottrell told the
weekly newspaper.
Bake-Line operates other bakeries in Marietta, Oklahoma, South
Beloit, Illinois, Chattanooga, Tennessee, and Pittsburgh.
