It's been a JOURNEY but proud to share that Queen Street Bakery is now available Nationally at Whole Foods Market !!! A theme we try to follow at Queen St Bakery has been to learn to walk before we can run. In classic startup life, it often turns into: Can you crawl? Okay sprint 🏃♂️ ! We got the amazing opportunity to test our products in select stores back in Nov 2023. We looked for 3 things. 1. Do customers in new markets like it as much as our local market? ✔ 2. Can we handle the logistics? ✔ 3. Can we even bake enough bagels if they do like it? triple ✔ We met and gained thousands of customers and got the validation we needed. We are ready to go full throttle now. Tell your friends and help spread the word about our Bread with Benefits. We are going to change the bread category forever. Thank you Lauren Poulter Glanzer and Mary Kincheloe for taking a chance on us, we are going to do you proud. Kelly Spillane and being our first fan :) Justin Brown for doing all the real work and letting me and Giovanni Angelucci take the credit. Ilana Lander Alicia Lang, RD, MHSc Sophia Battista Beena Patel Sanjay Ahuja for doing all the REAL REAL work and making Justin look good. Christine Collins George Daines Tommy Williams Aaron Barnholt and the rest of the Cultivate team for believing in our shared vision on what Queen St Bakery can do.

Our growth in the US has been nothing short of amazing & we’re just getting started🚀   We’re eager to expand our reach and find new partners to bring our top-performing bagels to even more homes across the country.   At Expo West (@friends; this is the Superbowl of our world!), we’ll be showcasing our SUPERFOOD BAGELS, which have become some of the top performing SKUs in our frozen bread category with our current retail customers 🥯 Our bagels take nutrition and the use of innovative ingredients to another level with a taste and texture that’s sure to impress. We want them in more homes across the nation, and we believe that collaborating with like-minded individuals and businesses is the key to making that happen. So, if you're attending Expo West, be sure to swing by our booth (#4956) and say hello!

One of Canada's OG gluten-free companies has chosen to leave the Canadian market, leaving us without a gluten-free English muffin. This is a big deal in our world, and we were ready to fill the gap with something way better. We created our own English Muffin the QSB way, made from superfood ingredients like White Bean flour & Sorghum, with 8x more fibre than a standard English Muffin and 5g of protein.  We believe everyone deserves to have a nutritious and delicious breakfast, whatever that looks like for them.   We're happy to announce that our Superfood English Muffins have officially launched nationally in the freezer section of your local grocery store: https://lnkd.in/gkUTg624 #CPG #CPGMarketing #GroceryRetail #Canada #GlutenFree #Superfood #FoodAndBeverage #FoodInnovation #Grocery #Growth #ProductLaunch
