Private Equity Wants a Bite of Hostess

Hostess Brands may not be done yet. The maker of Twinkies and Ding Dongs is expected to meet with its lenders and one of its bigger unions later today as it attempts to avoid liquidation. Private equity also appears interested in Hostess. C. Dean Metropoulos & Co., the PE firm that owns Pabst Brewing, said last week that it was considering making an offer for Hostess, according to press reports. Sun Capital Partners also confirmed it wants to buy Hostess.
