A timeline of events involving the bakery since 2001.
It was back in March, 2001 when Lepage Bakeries announced their plan to build a $725,000 distribution center attached to the Lisbon Street bakery; good news for the Lewiston/Auburn area as Lepage Bakeries at the time was one of the top 10 property tax payers in the area and employed over 100 locals. "I feel this expansion will help ensure the future for the city," said Greg Mitchell, Lewiston's development director in 2001.
In May of 2001 Lepage Bakeries threatened to fold its business if the Planning Board members did not approve of the expansion plans for the new distibution center. Ultimitaley it took a three hour long discussion to eventually approve the distribution center still standing in downtown Lewiston.
In May, 2001 Terry Mikesell filed multiple harassment complaints about fellow Lepage Bakeries employers bullying him based on his old age and perceived lack of masculinity. The members of the commission sided with him in two of his three complaints.
In November, 2003 Lepage Bakeries came across a bump in the road; the atkins diet trend, which warded off the health-concious customers from bread and carbs.
In June of 2007 Lepage Bakeries was listed as one of the largest employers in Maine amongst places like TD Banknorth, Bates College, and the Walmart Supercenter.
It is announced that Flowers Foods will be purchasing Lepage Bakeries for $370 million.
