A Family Legacy of Delicious Quality

For over 60 years, McKee Foods has been a family-owned bakery committed to providing delicious, high-quality products. The McKee story began during the Great Depression when young entrepreneur O.D. McKee started selling snack cakes from the back of his 1928 Whippet. In 1934, O.D. and his wife, Ruth, purchased a small, struggling bakery, using their family car as collateral. Despite financial hardships, their unwavering determination paid off in 1960 when they began selling the first family pack of baked goods, named after their granddaughter, Debbie.

The company's growth remained rooted in family values, with O.D. and Ruth's sons, Ellsworth and Jack, eventually taking on leadership roles. Today, Ellsworth and Jack's children continue to hold key positions, solidifying McKee Foods as a living legacy of a young couple's big dream.

The Birth of Little Debbie

In 1960, as McKee Foods was expanding its product line, O.D. McKee sought a catchy name for their new family-pack snack cakes. Inspired by a photograph of his 4-year-old granddaughter, Debbie, in her play clothes and favorite straw hat, he decided to use her name and image as the brand's logo. It was not until the first cartons were being printed that Debbie's parents, Ellsworth and Sharon McKee, learned their daughter was the namesake of the new brand.
