Thomas'

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thomas' is a brand of english muffins and bagels in North America. It is owned by George Weston Limited bakery. It advertises as having "nooks and crannies" in the muffins, making it less dense than competitive brands.

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.
