McKee Foods Corporation was founded in Chattanooga, TN in 1934 when a young
couple with a big dream pawned their new truck and bought Jack’s Cookie Company
with a down payment of $288 and a lot of hope. The couple was O.D. and Ruth
McKee, and their small bakery is now McKee Foods Corporation, the manufacturer
of America’s number-one snack cake, the Little Debbie® brand. How this bakery
grew from five employees and a few thousand dollars in yearly sales to more than
6,000 employees and more than $930 million in annual sales, is an inspirational story
of determination, focus, confidence, faith and family.
