Sara Lee Gets Married, Has Kids, Moves to the Suburbs

That's the natural progression, right? But not with this Sara Lee. This Sara Lee has steamy sex scandals then bolts outta town.

2005_04_saralee.jpgThis summer Sara Lee is moving its corporate headquarters from the Loop to suburban Downers Grove. Not sure if you remember it, but in February they announced they'd be moving their bakery and packaged meats businesses from St. Louis and Cincinnati to Chicago.. so they want to have space for the execs from those businesses as well as the corporate drones.. and for that space they're moving to the burbs. Also, Sara Lee's beverage business in Rolling Meadows will move to Downers Grove.

Don't know about you, but if we worked in a nice Loop location and found out we had to start commuting to Downer's Grove we'd be pretty pissed.
