RETAIL BAKERY
Mission Statement

Over the past 20+ years I have done business with many Retail Bakeries, and they have been a major focus of my business plan for the past 10 years. I would say that between 30-40% of my total bakery sales came from products that I purchased from Retail Bakeries!

However, the problem remains that many retail bakeries want to do business with supermarket in-store bakeries but they just don’t know how to do it. Every month I would get phone calls from retail bakeries that wanted to show me samples of their products. I can’t tell you how many times I gave appointments to people who showed me the BEST cheesecakes, Italian cookies, coffee cake, ETC…and when I got excited about it, they had NO IDEA how to make the process work. I can tell you from experience that with the workload of any Bakery Director, they are not going to stop what they are doing and hand hold a retail bakery through the process of packaging, labeling, inspections, ingredients & nutritional statements, distribution, promotions, ETC…

THAT’S WHERE I CAN HELP!!!
