Effingham, IL – July 23, 2024 – The Effingham County Chamber recently celebrated a ribbon-cutting ceremony for Continental Mills, Inc., dba The Krusteaz Company, on Friday, July 19, at their facility located at 1200 Stevens Avenue, Effingham, Illinois.
Founded in 1932, The Krusteaz Company began with the creation of the first just-add-water pie crust by Rose Charters in Seattle. Combining “crust” and “ease,” the company quickly became a household name. Today, The Krusteaz Company produces a variety of beloved breakfast, baking, and snack products. They remain committed to innovation and quality, maintaining the entrepreneurial spirit of their founder. They continue to inspire joyful moments in kitchens nationwide.
In celebration of their ten-year anniversary in the Effingham community, The Krusteaz Company hosted a FREE Pancake Breakfast on Saturday, July 20, from 8:30 AM to 10:00 AM at their facility.
The Chamber was delighted to join in commemorating The Krusteaz Company’s milestone and looks forward to many more years of their presence in our community.
