South Jersey has been on the losing end of private-sector job consolidations so often that it isn't prepared to hear some good news for a change: The American appetite for pretzels and portable toddler food (other than Cheerios) is large enough to bring an estimated 330 positions to the City of Camden. The reason is the Campbell Soup Co.'s voracious acquisition appetite, and how it lucked out by buying out Pepperidge Farms 60 years ago, and, Snyder-Lance, much more recently, in 2018. Campbell's officials announced that Pepperidge, the homestyle bread baker once iconically linked to New England, and Snyder-Lance, a previously merged snack food maker whose current corporate home is North Carolina, are coming home to the mother ship in Camden.
