For this, the company cannot go unrewarded. I am hoping there is a ground swell of action from America to come and support this company for what they have done. To show, that if you "do the right thing" you will be rewarded. I will be ordering cases of Archway cookies to send out to the troops, hospitals, nursing homes, schools, and local food banks. Enclosed within each shipment there will be an explanation why they are receiving these cookies; as part of an effort to reward a man and a company for "doing the right thing."CameronVirginia, USA Wed, 31 Dec 2008 15:04:33 EST Archway Cookies Closing Hits Home - Let's Keep Ashland Someplace Special - Blog http://www.spiread.com/blog/2008/10/20/archway-cookies-closing-hits-home--lets-keep-ashland-someplace-special#commentshttp://www.spiread.com/blog/2008/10/20/archway-cookies-closing-hits-home--lets-keep-ashland-someplace-special#comments Hello - FYI Archway cookies has a new website:www.archwaybakeries.comTake a look Wed, 17 Dec 2008 20:20:39 EST Archway Cookies Closing Hits Home - Let's Keep Ashland Someplace Special - Blog http://www.spiread.com/blog/2008/10/20/archway-cookies-closing-hits-home--lets-keep-ashland-someplace-special#commentshttp://www.spiread.com/blog/2008/10/20/archway-cookies-closing-hits-home--lets-keep-ashland-someplace-special#comments Judy, thanks for your comments! I was sad our town made the NY Times for the subject that it did, but I'm glad it is getting noticed. We had some good news last week. A North Carolina company bought the assets for our local Archway Cookies plant, and they're planning on putting Ashland workers back to work -- giving preference to former employees.

I read today's New York Times article on the plight of the people of Archway Cookies. I 've lived in Atlanta for 15 years now but I grew up in Cleveland and spent my life eating and loving Archway Cookies. Entrepreneurship isn't for everyone but the power of community supporting local businesses and finding solutions to keeping jobs local is very real and very doable. God Bless the employees of Archway Cookies and the people of Ashland. You are in my prayers.
