An affiliate controlled by Oakland-based California Cereal Products paid just under $5.6 million for the factory at 1267 14th St. in West Oakland's Oak Center neighborhood, according to documents filed Nov. 6 with the Alameda County Recorder's Office, the East Bay Times reported.
The seller was J. Nikima Co., an Oakland real-estate firm that bought the plant in 1994. With the exception of a hiatus in 1991, when the plant closed for three years, the factory has operated continuously to produce grains or related items, the newspaper reported. California Cereal Products reopened the factory in the mid-1990s.
