Learn More About Otis Spunkmeyer. Otis History I started this business in 1977 with a small store and a big idea. Now, with more than 50 sales centers throughout the United States, it’s not surprising to learn that Otis Spunkmeyer has acquired countless baked goods fans from coast to coast. In fact, Otis has the #1 branded retail muffin in America and the #1 cookie dough in foodservice outlets across the country. It just goes to show you that a clear vision and lots of hard work, not to mention some singularly fantastic recipes, make for happy consumers just like you. Otis Philosophy The secret to making uniquely delicious baked creations is to take classic, old-fashioned ideas and blend them with exciting new twists. Some people say I’m slightly eccentric, but I’m really a traditionalist at heart. That’s why I’m adamant about maintaining an “above and beyond” level of quality. In my opinion, that’s the only way to do anything. Set your goals and exceed them. That’s my recipe for success. © 2000 Otis Spunkmeyer®. All Rights Reserved.
