Hunter McKee will dicuss the history of McKee Foods and Little Debbie, which got its start in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The McKee story began during the height of the Great Depression when young entrepreneur O.D. McKee began selling 5¢ snack cakes from the back of his 1928 Whippet and grew to become a national household brand.
