Thomas', Entenmann's and Bimbo all have outlets in this part of NJ.

Entenmann's started going downhill in the late 70s. They were wondrous
before then, but once there was a corporate sell off, that was it.
From Wiki:

"The pharmaceutical company Warner-Lambert purchased Entenmann's in
1978, and then sold it to General Foods in 1982. General Foods merged
with Kraft in 1990. Kraft sold its bakery business to CPC
International (later Bestfoods). Bestfoods was purchased by Unilever
in 2000, which sold its baking division to George Weston, a Canadian
baked goods and supermarket business, the next year. Weston sold its
United States interests including Entemann's in 2008 to Mexican
conglomerate Grupo Bimbo.[3] Other Bimbo Bakeries USA holdings include
companies such as Thomas', Brownberry, Boboli, Arnold, Oroweat,
Freihofer’s, and Stroehmann"
