Archway filed for bankruptcy. I think I read that the assets had been
purchased by another company (seems like it may have been more than one
company), but I don't remember seeing any follow-up.

When I was in college, their German Chocolate cookies were
my favorite. However, I don't remember ever seeing an
advertisement for the company. I assume that would have
been for the franchise chain. I only bought the packaged
cookies, and I wasn't aware there was a franchise chain
until a few minutes ago when I read this:

Isn't this the company that makes the macaroons that some swear help
arthritis?

I have never heard of them or remember seeing them in local stores in
the past. Here is a followup link I found on the companies bankruptsy:

Archway cookies were commonplace in almost every supermarket chain in the
Cleveland area for many years. I don't remember seeing them in stores here
in Arizona after we moved here.

Forgot to tell you there's life in chat. I won't be there because I'm

I used to buy them here (East Texas). They were my favorites among packaged
cookies! I no longer eat cookies, cakes, etc., but those were nice.

Are you maybe thinking of Grandma's cookies? Anyway, I haven't
seen Archway cookies in years, but then, they were always put
someplace weird in the store, like on the end of the aisle. I didn't
notice when they disappeared.

Yeah, they didn't pay their kickbacks to grocery stores to get prime
product placement on the shelves.

I've seem Archway cookies very recently in a grocery store here in
Saint Louis MO. I think at Dierberg's.

Here's the skinny on Archway:

http://www.associatedcontent.com/art...ter.html?cat=3

Seems they filed for Chapter 7 bankrupcy, but have now been purchased
by Lance (the company that makes all those little packs of cheese
crackers, among other things) and have reopened their production plant
in Ohio.

Google is an amazing thing!

They're still there as far as I know. I recall seeing some
not too long ago. I hardly ever buy "bought" cookies but
Archway is one brand I will sometimes buy - certain varieties.

Interesting. These cookies are readily available here in Connecticut, and I
have two packages in front of me.

Iced Oatmeal: 'Manufactured' by Archway and Mother's Cookies, Battle
Creek, MI
Chocolate Chip: 'Manufactured' by Lance Manufacturing, Charlotte, NC.

I have thought for a long time that cookies were baked, so the term
'manufactured' is a surprise.

They're good, though; as tasty as Pepperidge Farm for about a buck less per
package.

"Windmills" - pressed sugar cookie with thin sliced almonds?
Chewy oatmeal raisin?
and another shortbread type I can't remember - a lot cheaper than
(Nabisco?) Lorna Doone or (peppfarm) Chessmen

Lynn from Fargo
just bought teeny tiny (marble sized) Yukon Gold potatoes dug this
morning.

What to do . . . steamed, creamed, sauteed, roasted. fried in bacon
fat? Whatever - they can't be crunchy - got no teeth!
