Bimbo claims Thomas has a "great reputation in the American market". The company acquired the rights to the Thomas brand along with Oroweat, Entenmann's and Boboli when it purchased five plants as part of the acquisition of George Weston Ltd's western US baking business in 2002.
A pack of four Thomas bagels on sale in Spain has an RSP of EUR1.69 (US$1.89).
