Largest Baking Company in the U.S. Closes 28 Stores in Massachusetts and Northeast

Massachusetts is a great place to live. Residents and visitors have their choice of city or county life, plenty of restaurants, and of course plenty of shopping.

Massachusetts is home to an abundance of independent retailers from book stores, to sports equipment and gift shops. While small and family-owned businesses are a vital part of the state's economy, big box stores have their place in Massachusetts as well.

In addition to retailers, Massachusetts also has a booming food service economy. From unique and exclusive fine dining experiences to mom-and-pop roast beef shops, fresh seafood, and farm-to-table eateries, there is something for everyone's palette and budget in Massachusetts.

In addition to a multitude of restaurants, Massachusetts is home to many food manufacturers as well, including a major one that just announced the closure of multiple outlets.
