Bakers Delight continues to expand

Bakers Delight, Australia’s most successful franchise bakery, was established in 1980 as a single bakery on Glenferrie Road in the Melbourne suburb of Hawthorn.

An Australian owned company, Bakers Delight boasts over 700 bakeries employing more than 15,000 people, serving 2.5 million regular customers per week throughout Australia, New Zealand, and Canada.

While much of the retail sector is feeling the pinch of the global financial crisis and in cut-back mode, Bakers Delight is trending positively against the economic downturn. As part of an aggressive growth campaign, the company is looking to recruit 150 new franchisees across its international network.

Bakers Delight continues to enjoy steady growth achieving global turnover of $581M in 08/09 and with over six per cent growth in Australia alone. In 09/10 global turnover is expected to reach $608M.

The market for fresh bread continues to grow in line with the trend towards healthy eating at home. Bakers Delight currently holds a 13.7% (Single Source Data September, 2009). The fresh bread market in Australia is currently worth AUD $2.69 billion.

Bakers Delight has been a major corporate partner of Breast Cancer Network Australia for nine years, raising almost $3.7 million within this time. Through its bakery network, the company donates approximately $143 million in bread to charities each year.

In 2009, Bakers Delight was recognised for its commitment to community, health and environmental practices taking out the Franchise Council of Australia ‘Franchisor Social Responsibility Award.’
