Tips on Starting a Bakery

Video Transcript

"John how did you start baking? Well that has an interesting story. When we first started the business of, we're not much of a business to begin with. And we started as an ice cream/juice bar place where we introduced sandwiches. And this one company used to bring us our bread with a whole bunch of fuss and difficulties. And to make a long story short his attitude was really bad. So one day I told him, "You know what? Give me one month and I will make my own bread and I will not buy bread from you any longer." And I went and I contacted this gentleman Klaus where he was a master baker. I said, "Klaus I need some help." So within a month he turned us to a bakery and he taught us how to bake. And we brought most of the ingredients from Germany because we were fond of the product there. And at that time, 20 years ago, we had ingredients that were somewhat organic. We had to label organic. Before organic became organic. We were getting stuff from farms of Germany without any pesticides in it. Yeah and that's how we started becoming a bakery."
