Two new HQ moves were announced recently:
Hostess Moves; Fewer calories, Too?
Hostess Brands is moving its corporate headquarters from Kansas City, Missouri to Kansas City, Kansas according to FoodDive.
The maker of Twinkies, Ding Dongs and Ho Hos will receive tax incentives and tax credits from Kansas and local governments starting a year after the move, according to the company.
Hostess also plans to build a consumer research center, which will be located at the same site as the headquarters. It will contain a laboratory, sensory test kitchen and focus group space, the company said. The new facility is scheduled to open during the first half of next year.
