Mother's cookie company closes amid bankruptcy
October 10, 2008


OAKLAND, Calif.-Mother's Cookies has closed its doors for good.

Its Connecticut-based parent company filed for bankruptcy protection this
week. Workers at its baking and distribution plants in Ohio and Canada were
informed that operations would cease immediately.

Mother's operated in Oakland for 92 years, but left the city in 2006 after
it came under new ownership. Since then, cookies bearing the Mother's brand
were baked by Archway & Mother's Cake and Cookie Co. of Battle Creek, Mich.
Its parent company -- the private equity firm Catterton Partners of
Greenwich, Conn. -- says rising fuel and ingredient prices contributed to
the bankruptcy.
