Hostess Brands Inc. in a lawsuit filed on Friday demanded about $2.84 million in overdue invoices from grocery store chain The Kroger Co., Reuters reported yesterday. Kroger and several of its subsidiaries have failed to make payments since July, Hostess alleged. Hostess did not say which of its many products it sold to Kroger, and a lawyer for the company declined to comment on Monday. Hostess is liquidating after filing for bankruptcy in January 2012, its second trip through chapter 11 after a previous one between 2004 and 2009.
