Little Debbie Zebra Cakes, 13.0 OZ Box

From the Brand Who We Are: A Family Bakery's Legacy of Delicious Quality for Over 60 Years

The McKee story began during the Great Depression's height when young entrepreneur O.D. McKee started selling 5¢ snack cakes from the back of his 1928 Whippet. In 1934, O.D. and his wife, Ruth, bought a small, failing bakery, using the family car as collateral. Money was so tight that they had to put up a sheet near the bakery's back for their living quarters. Despite years of great adversity, O.D. and Ruth's rare determination finally began to pay off in 1960 when they started selling the first family pack of baked goods, naming them after their granddaughter, Debbie. Around this time, the company finally began making a steady profit.

The bakery continued to grow but remained a family business. O.D. and Ruth's sons, Ellsworth and Jack, eventually took leadership positions, and today, Ellsworth and Jack's children hold leadership roles. McKee Foods stands as a living legacy of a young couple with a big dream. O.D. and Ruth shared a strong commitment to family values that remains the company's foundation today.

Brand History: In 1960, McKee Foods founder O.D. McKee was trying to come up with a catchy name for their new family-pack cartons of snack cakes. Thinking of what could be a good fit for the brand, O.D. arrived at the name of his 4-year-old granddaughter Debbie. Inspired by a photo of Debbie in play clothes and her favorite straw hat, he decided to use the name Little Debbie and her image on the logo. Not until the first cartons were being printed did Debbie's parents, Ellsworth and Sharon McKee, discover that their daughter was the namesake of the new brand.
