A Bit of History: The Loose Wiles Biscuit Company was a prominent American biscuit and cookie manufacturer that operated during the early to mid-20th century. It was founded in the late 19th century by a businessman named Joseph W. Loose. Loose Wiles Biscuit Company was established in Kansas City, Missouri, in 1890. It initially produced a variety of baked goods, including biscuits, cookies, and crackers. The company quickly gained popularity for its high-quality products and innovative packaging. In 1902, Loose Wiles Biscuit Company introduced their most famous product, Sunshine Biscuits. Sunshine Biscuits became a household name and were known for their distinctive yellow packaging. This helped the company broaden its market share across the United States. Over the years, Loose Wiles Biscuit Company continued to expand and innovate. They introduced various new product lines and flavors to cater to changing consumer tastes. The company also began utilizing modern marketing techniques, including national advertising campaigns and merchandising promotions. In the 1920s, Loose Wiles Biscuit Company faced increased competition from other biscuit and cookie manufacturers. To remain competitive, the company merged with the National Biscuit Company (Nabisco) in 1928. Under this merger, the Sunshine Biscuit brand continued to be produced and marketed. Through the Nabisco merger, Loose Wiles Biscuit Company gained additional resources and distribution channels, further solidifying its market presence. The Sunshine Biscuit brand continued to be successful, and the company maintained its reputation for quality and innovation. In the late 20th century, Nabisco underwent several changes in ownership and corporate structure. In 2000, it was acquired by Kraft Foods, which later merged with Mondelez International in 2012. As a result, the Sunshine Biscuit brand, originally produced by Loose Wiles Biscuit Company, became part of the Mondelez International portfolio. Although the name Loose Wiles Biscuit Company no longer exists as an independent entity, its legacy lives on through the continued production and popularity of Sunshine Biscuits, now under the Mondelez brand. The company's rich history and contributions to the biscuit and cookie industry remain an important part of American food culture. Condition: Sold AS-IS in Good Preowned Used Condition.
