Chris Pruitt, an employee of a Hostess plant in Peoria, strikes with other employees in front of the Hostess Brands plant in Schiller Park.

On Friday it was made official, Hostess was granted the right to file for bankruptcy and close down. This will be a night for the business 18,500 workers that they now have to lay off. It’s also a tragedy to many Chicagoans since the delicious treat, Twinkies, was created here in 1930. Other products such as HoHos, Cupcakes, and Wonder Bread will all suffer the same fate as the Twinkies. Will this be goodbye forever? Only time will tell. For more details on the matter click here
