Thomas'

Thomas' is a brand of english muffins and bagels in North America. It is owned by George Weston Limited bakery, which also owns Entenmann's, Boboli, Stroehmann, and Arnold bread companies. It advertises as having "nooks and crannies" in the muffins, making it less dense than competitive brands. The company also produces toasting/swirl breads, pitas, and wraps.

The company was founded by Samuel Bath Thomas (1855–1919). In 1874, he emigrated from England to New York City and began working in a bakery. By 1880, he had purchased his own bakery, where he featured his namesake muffins. The company, S.B. Thomas, Inc., was incorporated by his family after his death in 1922.

Thomas' introduced a bagel variation called Bagelbread. A package contains six pre-sliced bagel squares.

The brands Thomas', Boboli and Entenmann's are licensed by Weston for North America; Bimbo, a Mexican multinational company, owns the brands. Weston owns the trademarks. [http://www.bimbobakeriesusa.com/bbu_brands/]
