Duncan
Hines® was one of the most respected food critics in America
when he founded the brand over 50 years ago. In the 1940’s,
Duncan Hines was a traveling salesman turned food critic, who
through his books became the authority on quality food. When
he gave a restaurant a top rating, it would be presented with
a "Recommended by Duncan Hines" sign.
It was Duncan Hines’s well-respected persona and business
sense that prompted North Carolina businessman, Roy Park, to
approach him in 1948 with the idea of lending his name to a
line of cake mixes and other packaged foods, including ice
cream. The cake mix business was a success, and in 1956
Procter & Gamble purchased the brand. The company expanded the
business to the national market, and added a series of related
products.
