eclectic Sara Lee is right down to what it knows best
It's made Coach bags,sac vanessa bruno pas cher cuir, Isotoner gloves, Kiwi shoe polish and Playtex bras. But Sara Lee Corp. has slimmed right down to meat and cheesecake,sac vanessa bruno cuir prix.
What was a $20 billion, multinational holding company with more than 150,000 employees in 2000 a week ago became a food-focused company renamed Hillshire Brands, about 8,500 employees,sac vanessa bruno prix, a portfolio of meat products and frozen desserts and nearly $4 billion in sales.
