If you’re like me, Pillsbury conjures up a lot of good, family memories. This food retailer from the 1800’s was bought by the Grand Metropolitan on this date in 1989. This led to Pillsbury, a subsidiary of GrandMet, becoming the eighth largest company for consumer goods in the entire world. I don’t remember any of this, but I’m sure glad it’s still around. I would be lost without this company and its good food!
