Thomas' English Muffin

Thomas’ is a quintessential American bakery brand best known for its iconic 'nooks and crannies' English muffins. The brand was founded in 1880 by Samuel Bath Thomas, an English immigrant who opened a bakery in New York City. His original recipe, which utilized a secret process to create a porous texture, remains the cornerstone of the brand's identity today.

Over the decades, the brand expanded from its New York roots to become a staple in households across North America. The manufacturing process primarily takes place in various industrial bakeries across the United States to ensure product freshness. While the product is deeply rooted in American culinary culture, the brand's ownership has transitioned through several major food conglomerates over the years.

Today, Thomas' is owned by Bimbo Bakeries USA, the American subsidiary of Grupo Bimbo. Grupo Bimbo, headquartered in Mexico, is the largest baking company in the world. This ownership places Thomas' within a global portfolio of leading bakery brands, benefiting from extensive distribution networks while maintaining the traditional English muffin recipe that has defined the brand for over a century.
