 PROFILE
When Little Debbie smiles up out of your lunch bag, you know you are loved. McKee Foods' Little Debbie is the US's leading brand of snack cake, named for and featuring the smiling face of a granddaughter of the company's founders. The company makes snack cakes, creme-filled cookies, crackers, and candy. McKee Foods also sells granola bars, fruit snacks, and cereals under its Sunbelt brand. Low prices and family packs of individually wrapped treats -- both conducive to quick lunch packing -- have driven sales. The company started in 1934 with founder O. D. McKee and his wife, Ruth, selling nickel cakes from the back seat of their car. McKee Foods is still owned and operated by the McKee family.
