Chicago grocery store chain Jewel-Osco announced yesterday that the final shipment of of Hostess baked goods, including Twinkies, will hit stores today. Mike Siemenas, spokesman for Jewel parent Supervalu, told the Chicago Tribune that they got a call from a Hostess plant in Georgia about some remaining inventory and jumped at the opportunity.
It's the perfect temporary end to the Twinkie, which originated in Schiller Park, IL in 1930 thanks to James Alexander Dewar. Jewel-Osco has listed the 150 stores that will sell the final boxes of Twinkies, Ding Dongs, Orange Cupcakes and Zingers on its Facebook page.
