Too Much In Mind. I'll Just Munch!

Nothing much to do so I blog stuff that I see that interests me. But since I have too much in mind. I decided to stop for a while and munch Uncle Wally's Rich and Moist Banana nut muffin from New York, courtesy of John.



Well, this is my first time to taste UW's muffin and it's mouthwatering, delicious and I can't stop but eat everything, and didn't I tell you, it's hmmm. read nutrition facts below; =p



So, who's Uncle Wally?


Founded in 1995 by Wally "Famous" Amos and Louis Avignone, Uncle Wally's is the #1 branded in-store bakery muffin and one of the top muffin manufacturers in the U.S.



The company's roots date back to 1992 when Amos started a new cookie company he called Uncle Noname when he sold the Famous Amos Chocolate Cookie Company.


Lou Avignone, a Famous Amos distributor at the time, heard Amos on a local radio talk show. Inspired by Amos' story of his early business success with Famous Amos and his indomitable spirit, Avignone contacted him with the idea for starting a new business. In 1994, the two became partners and subsequently launched Uncle Noname Gourmet Muffins. With America's tastes shifting towards healthier foods, the company focused on fat-free, nutritious muffins at that time. Uncle Noname ultimately became Uncle Wally's Muffin Company in 1999.


During its first five years of operation, Uncle Wally's concentrated on growing the core muffin business and in developing strong relationships with customers, which include A&P, King Kullen, Pathmark, Winn Dixie, Wal-Mart, Sam's Club and Costco. Overall, the grocery channel comprises more than 50 percent of the company's sales, with the balance of sales from the club store sector of the market. A new 43,000 square foot, state-of-the-art bakery was built and opened in the later part of 2001. The company projects sales for 2003 through 2005 to grow in excess of 35% per annum.


Uncle Wally's manufactures a broad selection of nutritious gourmet and homestyle muffins in fat-free, sugar-free, all natural and soy protein varieties that have won numerous awards for quality and great taste. The muffins are sold in more than 3,500 stores nationwide.

I LVoe!
