Customers hoping to purchase Twinkies are finding those items have already sold out at one bakery.Many customers will miss the convenience of shopping at the Hostess Thriftstore in East Ridge. One woman from Texas is visiting family and heard Hostess was selling out so they came in to get in on the good deals.For some employees that will be out of a job, the closing hits deeper emotions. Donna Simmons and her daughter will be drawing unemployment as the holidays arrive. They have been a mother/daughter team at the East Ridge store for 15 years. Although the future of the Hostess brand isn't certain, the East Ridge store will close by Saturday and regulars are sad to see them go.
