In 2018, Clover Capital purchased the property for just over $1 million. Two years later, the building has been renovated and redone, with a goal of keeping its historical character intact, according to a piece in the News Tribune.
Thanks to its prominent location and the time it spent as the go-to spot for anyone looking for day-old bread and bargain Twinkies, the former Wonder Bread bakery and Hostess outlet store on Sprague is familiar to many long-time Tacomans. It has been vacant for years now, the victim of changing diets and economics. As it slowly fell into disrepair, its windows were boarded up and neglect set in, making it more of an eyesore than an object of nostalgia.
The 24,450 square-foot renovated (flex space) building is currently for lease.
