Continental Mills is Changing its Name After 90 Years of Operation

— September 16, 2022 — Business
'Conintental Mills Inc' announced that it is changing its name to 'The Krusteaz Co.' Continental Mills owns several CPG brands including Krusteaz, Buck Wild, Wild Roots, Wheat Germ, and more. However, the company was most known for its Krusteaz brand, which features a range of pancake, waffle, and other breakfast pastry mixes. As a result of this, the company decided to blend its name to fall more in line with its most popular sub-brand, resulting in The Krusteaz Co.

The CEO of Krusteaz, Andy Heily, stated: “We say that Krusteaz is ‘by makers for makers’ and our 800-plus employees are makers, rooted in a spirit of fierce pride. This name change is as much about honoring our past as it is about looking forward to a future built on a culture of ingenuity that will continue to deliver some of the most beloved and trusted brands.”
