Thomas'

Thomas' is an American brand of baked goods, best known for its English muffins featuring the signature "Nooks & Crannies" texture, which was established in 1880 by English immigrant Samuel Bath Thomas in New York City. The brand originated when Thomas adapted his mother's traditional English muffin recipe, baking them on hot griddles using simple ingredients to create a crunchy exterior and soft, airy interior that became a breakfast staple. Over the years, Thomas' expanded its product line to include bagels, breakfast breads, and seasonal varieties like pumpkin spice English muffins, while maintaining a focus on quality and innovation in baking. Today, the brand is owned by Bimbo Bakeries USA, a subsidiary of the global baking giant Grupo Bimbo, which acquired it as part of broader expansions in the U.S. market. Notable aspects include its 145-year legacy of tradition, ongoing sustainability initiatives such as commitments to 100% sustainable packaging by 2025 and net-zero emissions by 2050, and widespread popularity for versatile, toaster-friendly products that appeal to everyday consumers. In September 2025, Bimbo Bakeries USA, which owns Thomas', faced a lawsuit from the City of Philadelphia alleging deceptive recyclability labeling on its plastic packaging.

History

Founding and Early Development

Samuel Bath Thomas, born in 1855 in Plymouth, England, emigrated to the United States in 1874, arriving in New York City where he initially found employment in local bakeries to hone his skills as a baker. Drawing from traditional English baking techniques, Thomas developed a recipe for what would become the signature English muffin, adapting it with a unique griddle-baking process that produced the distinctive "nooks and crannies" texture ideal for toasting and absorbing toppings. In 1880, Thomas established his first bakery at 163 Ninth Avenue in Manhattan's neighborhood, dedicating the operation exclusively to producing these English muffins as a novel breakfast option for city dwellers. The muffins, baked on hot griddles rather than in ovens, quickly gained traction among urban consumers craving authentic British-style baked goods, with their form suitable for splitting and toasting in emerging household toasters. Among early innovations, Thomas introduced a "toaster crumpet" variation—a flatter, more toast-friendly adaptation of the traditional English crumpet—which further enhanced the product's appeal and set the foundation for the brand's focus on versatile, griddle-baked specialties. This initial offering resonated with New Yorkers, drawing customers from across the boroughs for its fresh, textured quality that distinguished it from standard breads.

Expansion and Ownership Transitions

In the early 20th century, as demand for its English muffins increased, S. B. Thomas expanded production by acquiring the building at 337 West 20th Street in Manhattan's neighborhood, where an existing basement oven was utilized for baking; this site, known as "The Muffin House," became a central production facility and enduring symbol of the brand's origins. Samuel Bath Thomas died in 1919 at age 64, after which the company was inherited by his daughter and nephews, who incorporated S. B. Thomas and sustained family-led operations, expanding the business through the and beyond. The family retained control until 1970, when the company was sold to CPC International (later rebranded as Bestfoods); this marked the shift from family ownership to corporate stewardship, with further transition in 2001 when acquired Bestfoods' U.S. baking division—including Thomas'—for $1.77 billion, enabling broader national distribution networks and diversification into additional baked goods like bagels. Grupo Bimbo began integrating Thomas' through its 2002 acquisition of George 's western U.S. baking assets for $610 million, which included distribution rights for the brand in that region; this was followed by the full purchase of Foods' U.S. operations in 2009 for $2.5 billion, solidifying Thomas' under and supporting continued market growth. In 2010, secured a significant legal victory in a trade secrets against former executive Chris Botticella, obtaining a federal appeals court that barred him from joining competitor or disclosing confidential information related to the proprietary "nooks and crannies" , thereby protecting the brand's unique processes.

These varieties maintain the brand's low-fat profile, typically containing 1 gram or less of fat per muffin, while emphasizing high-fiber content in options, such as 3-4 grams per serving in the Whole Wheat variety. To preserve the nooks and crannies, Thomas' recommends fork-splitting the muffins rather than using a knife, a that avoids compressing the airy structure and ensures optimal absorption of spreads; the brand explicitly does not endorse machine slicing to uphold this authenticity. As the first mass-produced in the United States, Thomas' Original transformed a niche import substitute into a ubiquitous staple, with production beginning in a single bakery and expanding nationwide over the decades.
