Officials of their alma mater, now a four-year college called Southern Missionary College, asked if they’d consider relocating to Collegedale. A woodworking shop, which had provided jobs for some of their students, had been destroyed in a fire. They offered to provide the McKees with a building if they would move their business onto college property. Recognizing that this move would be beneficial to both parties, the McKees agreed.

By 1957, their entire business was in Collegedale, and it began to be called McKee Baking Company.
