The Bay Shore Entenmann’s
bakery announced yesterday that it will be closing. The decision will shift production to other
bakeries in Chicago and Pennsylvania.
This closing will cut 178 of the 265 workers at the company.
The Entenmann’s company
was founded in 1898 by William Entenmann, a German immigrant. He opened a small store in Bay Shore in 1905
and then the company relocated the factory there in 1961. The company has produced pastries there for
more than 50 years.
The Bay Shore facility
is closing because it “cannot operate efficiently on a cost competitive basis,”
according to the vice president of operations.
Irwin Kellner, chief economist for MarketWatch.com says that many
companies are finding that it is beneficial to relocate to where the cost of
labor is cheaper.
