Entenmann's Fruit Stollen |
|
|
Posted by Karl B on Fri Nov 16 19:58:15 2007 made its Holiday debut today on supermarket shelves, accompanied by an another price increase. This year it is $5.29 a box, and the usual 10% bakery discount is gone. That is about an .80 cent increase from last year. It would seem as if my favorite treat is rapidly getting too expensive to enjoy anymore.This item is only produced for about 45 days during the Holiday season. |

Thanks, Steve, but postage would more than eat up any savings on price.We used to freeze 12, one per month for the new year. It sounds bad, but it worked very well. After a family meeting, we decided that was the first thing to stop. Too much of that stollen is probably no good for me anyway. |

The sad part of all this is that Entenmann's isn't really Entenmann's anymore. Entenmann's, Thomas, Stroehmann's and Arnold are just a few of many old bakeries that are owned and operated by George Weston Bakeries of Canada. |

The cakes in that store and the breakfast treats are fantastic. The problem is their discount store in Exton that Karl talks about is 3 miles from my house.I must resist temptation. Chuck |

TD, the Entenmann's plant near you....is that the main plant in Bayshore? If so, I thought I heard it was due to close and move to either Penn or NJ....Only discount outlets were to stay in NYC area. I heard the discount outlet in Brooklyn used to be an Entenmann's bakery plant back in the 70's/80's. I believe another plant already exists in Jersey. |

Yes it is - on 5th Avenue (AKA Entenman's Way) I have a friend who works maintenance in the Bay Shore plant and as of this writing he's talked about layoffs of some of the junior workers but has not mentioned closing - yet. |

I didn't recall that Karl's love for Stollen was so well noted. Every holiday season he'd call to let me know that none of the stores around Gettysburg had stollen. Each year we'd buy 6 and ship it to Karl and his wife, Barb. |

I actually did have Stollen from Aldi back in December.I actually like Aldi, much of their things are very good, and very reasonably priced. And some things, like their "knock off" Pringles for example, to me taste better than real pringles. A lot of their "no name" things are extremely good. |
