SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Some 250 workers across Northern California are losing their jobs because the company that makes Mother's Cookies has filed for bankruptcy.
Workers at the Mother's Cookies distribution center in San Jose told KTVU that they got notices last weekend. They said they were told not to come to work on Monday.
Mother's Cookies was founded in Oakland in 1914. In the early 1990s it was sold and has changed hands several times since then.
An international congolmerate closed the Oakland Bakery in 2006.
The current owner says it plans to cease all operations(!) in the United States. It cited rising food and fuel prices in the chapter eleven bankruptcy filing.

I just bought some of those cookies for the book fair guessing jar ... I love the chocolate chip ones! How sad that they are closing down after all these years.
