Bakers Delight currently holds over 700 bakeries across three countries, and the company serves an estimated 2 million consumers per week, an impressive number for such a young company that has managed to grow even during the coronavirus pandemics.

As for today, the bakery franchise chain counts with outlets both locally and in Canada and New Zealand. The first store was founded in 1980 as a single bakery on Glenferrie Road, located in the Melbourne suburb of Hawthorn, Victoria.

By working with Bakers Delight, you are going to be part of a global company. The enterprise entered the Canadian market in 2003, under the name COBS Bread, and now owns over 100 bakeries in 5 Canadian provinces. Although the brand also tried to enter the US market, this attempt was unsuccessful.
