MINNEAPOLIS — Rise Baking Co., parent company to an extensive portfolio of commercial bakery brands, has completed its acquisition of Jimmy’s Gourmet Bakery. Initially announced June 2026, the deal further strengthens Rise’s manufacturing capabilities and expands its reach to Northeast customers.

The transaction marks another stride in Rise’s long-term growth strategy. Jimmy’s Gourmet Bakery, a producer of cookies and baked goods, has built a reputation for its premium thaw-and-sell products, serving retail and foodservice customers nationwide. The company operates three manufacturing facilities — totaling more than 350,000 square feet — and brings a strong portfolio, including the Jimmy’s Cookies brand, the King Krumb Cookie line and Ecce Panis artisan breads.

“We’ve admired what the Jimmy’s team has built over the years, and we’re excited to welcome them to Rise,” said Mark McNeil, CEO of Rise Baking. “What makes this acquisition special is the people. Jimmy’s has built an outstanding team, a strong culture and a reputation for delivering innovative products and service. Together, we’ll build on that foundation as we continue investing in our customers, our people and the future of our business.”

At the time of the transaction’s closing, Jimmy’s will operate independently while both companies take a methodical approach to integration, ensuring continuity for employees, customers and partners.

“Our focus remains the same: delivering exceptional products and outstanding service to our customers,” added Michael Pisani, president of Jimmy’s. “With Rise, we’ll have even greater resources to innovate, grow and continue meeting our customers’ evolving needs.”
