575495 Wed Nov 26 09:06:56 -0800 2008 32 18 Manhattan 0 4203489 I have been scouring the city looking for a store that sells Archway brand Oatmeal cookies (not iced oatmeal or oatmeal rasin). I need these cookies to recreate a family recipe for Thanksgiving tomorrow. If you know of a store in Manhattan that sells these, PLEASE let me know. Thanks. Wed Nov 26 09:06:56 -0800 2008 22936 Loren 1 4203537 I think Duane Reade sells Archway cookies, not sure about just which variety of oatmeal cookies, though. Good luck! Wed Nov 26 09:25:54 -0800 2008 4203489 177314 uwsgrazer 2 4203573 Sadly, they no longer carry Archway. Thanks for the suggestion, though. Wed Nov 26 09:42:48 -0800 2008 4203537 22936 Loren 3 4204093 Hi Loren, I could have sworn I saw some at the Duane Reade by Rock Center (51st between 5th/6th) yesterday. I thought they had the chocolate ones, at a minimum. I'm not doubting you, but just wonder whether some Duane Reades may still have some inventory left. As a last resort I guess you could try calling different locations, as frustrating as that would be. I also thought Food Emporium carried them in the past, but that could be stale information at this point. Anyway, hope you manage to find them in time! Wed Nov 26 13:18:21 -0800 2008 4203573 177314 uwsgrazer 4 4207189 uwsgrazer, i'm at this DR quite a lot. they don't have archway cookies, but they do have similarly packaged store brand cookies, including iced oatmeal ones, which actually taste a lot like archway's. Fri Nov 28 15:21:42 -0800 2008 4204093 64215 cimui 5 4208382 i saw these earlier today at duane reade. they are called 'fifth avenue preferred'. i did notice that i wasn't seeing archway around lately. every so often, i'd get a craving for their soft chocolate chip or oatmeal cookies. well, i actually squeezed the cookies of this new brand to confirm that they had the same consistency as the archway cookies. i can't help but wonder if it's the same company with a different name b/c they really do look very similar, packaging and all, and cimui has stated that they taste the same. is it possible that a company would just change their name? not sure how this works or why this would be necessary. Sat Nov 29 12:01:23 -0800 2008 4207189 57300 nativeNYer 6 4208429 oh so that's why the package i bought has a big ol' thumbprint on the top cookie! =P actually, i think 5th ave. is one of the duane reade store brands. archway unfortunately closed its manufacturing facilities as part of its bankruptcy proceedings. Sat Nov 29 12:42:42 -0800 2008 4208382 64215 cimui 6 4209843 They're very similar style cookies, I think Duane Reade has changed the packaging and manufacturer about three times in the past ten years and at one point it was Archway, but not it's just an imposter. Should work as a substitute for a recipe. Some of the 99cent stores also have cheapie frosted oatmeal cookies that may work in a pinch. Sun Nov 30 10:37:25 -0800 2008 4208382 145096 sugartoof 7 4215988 Yup, they are indeed Archway knock-offs! I can't believe it, the resemblance is there; you really have to focus on the labeling to pick up on the difference. Well, the woman in front of me in the check-out line bought a pack of the soft chocolate cookies so they are selling. I haven't had the cookies in ages. I'll have to do a little taste-test comparison one of these days .... Tue Dec 02 17:54:48 -0800 2008 4209843 177314 uwsgrazer 8 4218170 The chocolate are pretty good. Not crazy about the chocolate chip though. They kind of remind me of Archway in that way where some of the cookies just hit the spot, while others were like bottom of the barrel junkfood. Duane Reade doesn't have a lemon iced knockoff just yet though. Hopefully nobody has a recipe requiring some of the more oddball flavors Archway was so good for. Wed Dec 03 13:39:21 -0800 2008 4215988 145096 sugartoof 9 4221742 sugartoof, you're right. I wonder what it is about the Archway chocolate cookies (and select others) that makes them taste so "special". They kind of have a junky taste to them, but not so much as to offend. Maybe it's all that hydrogenated oil. The Stella d'Oro Swiss Fudge cookies are also tasty, kind of in a similar way. Thu Dec 04 19:36:46 -0800 2008 4218170 177314 uwsgrazer 1 4203584 I think CVS sells them, too. Im trying to remember if the Gristede's on the UES used to carry them, but I can't remember. Give them a call (86th street location) These are the yummiest oatmeal cookies! Good luck! Wed Nov 26 09:47:55 -0800 2008 4203489 92993 piegirl74 1 4204134 They always have a bunch at the Key Food on 4th & A in the East Village -- at the end of the first aisle past the produce and frozen foods on the right (before you get to the frozen turkey). They've got a whole Archway display thingy. I know I have seen the regular oatmeal. Wed Nov 26 13:38:59 -0800 2008 4203489 221979 _emilie_ 1 4204438 I am sorry to break your heart but Archway is out of business. No more cookies.

They were going out of business recently and Lance Corp just took them over for 30 million dollars, So shortly Archway will be on the shelves and Pathmark will be first to have them. http://mfrtech.com/articles/1608.html or http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/Lance-Inc-Announces-Successful-Bid/story.aspx?guid=%7B081849E8-4099-4880-BB21-384DC673F6A8%7D Thu Dec 04 23:13:45 -0800 2008 4203489 118604 foodwhisperer 2 4222165 Good news for strange and cheap regional cookie lovers! (now if they can bring Mother's animal crackers back to life....) Why Pathmark though? Fri Dec 05 00:07:27 -0800 2008 4222116 145096 sugartoof 3 4270001 A&P Pathmark and Waldbaum's and Food emporium are all the same chain now. Tue Dec 23 16:38:44 -0800 2008 4222165 118604 foodwhisperer 4 4271710 Interesting, but that still doesn't explain why they will get them first Wed Dec 24 12:35:31 -0800 2008 4270001 145096 sugartoof 2 4223117 awesome. thanks so much for the update!!! Fri Dec 05 10:21:40 -0800 2008 4222116 57300 nativeNYer 2 4223377 Hm. I've been wondering lately what happened, since it seemed they were marginalized over the years. I remember when the local supermarkets were actively promoting them with sales all the time. Fri Dec 05 11:32:23 -0800 2008 4222116 13871 Fida 2 4270858 A story in today's cnn http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/12/23/cookie.factory.reopens/index.html They are starting up the production line. Wed Dec 24 06:01:16 -0800 2008 4222116 12998 paperpest 3 4271638 I am impressed by the way the new owners have handled things with the former employees. I am looking forward to finding the cookies on the shelves again. I get a craving every one in a while, Wed Dec 24 11:56:44 -0800 2008 4270858 57300 nativeNYer 3 4731231 more on Archway cookies ... http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/31/business/31archway.html?em Sun May 31 19:21:48 -0700 2009 4270858 177314 uwsgrazer 4 4733058 i saw them in pathmark yesterday as we had heard. Mon Jun 01 12:36:14 -0700 2009 4731231 57300 nativeNYer 5 4763262 yes Archway is back under Lance ownership , distributed now by Wise potato chip distributors in the Northeast Thu Jun 11 09:23:17 -0700 2009 4733058 118604 foodwhisperer 5 4763283 Outstanding! The plain oatmeal cookies?? Which Pathmark? Thu Jun 11 09:27:38 -0700 2009 4733058 103140 RussianGirl 6 4763553 I saw them at a Pathmark in Nassau County (New Hyde Park) twice but they were on a stand in the front of the store instead of on the shelves. It looked like a temporary thing and they didn't have a wide selection nor did it look like they were replenishing once they sold out. Any other sightings? Thu Jun 11 10:26:09 -0700 2009 4763283 57300 nativeNYer 7 5136322 I found them at Fine Fare. They're almost as good as the original. The packaging is red and not see-through as the original and they're slightly thinner. Tue Oct 27 20:32:22 -0700 2009 4763553 223669 Da Vid 8 5167683 Oooh, I see there is a location right near Patsy's - how convenient! Mon Nov 09 12:19:03 -0800 2009 5136322 103140 RussianGirl 9 5185108 Ok, so I went to the Fine Fare on 118th Street and 1st this weekend and did not see them there. Which one do you frequent?? Mon Nov 16 07:14:07 -0800 2009 5167683 103140 RussianGirl 10 5187357 I got mine on Ave C and 4th St. Mon Nov 16 19:26:37 -0800 2009 5185108 223669 Da Vid 11 5188180 Well, then that's where I will have to go!
