Bakers Delight continues to expand

Bakers Delight, the world’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 and will also hire 500 apprentice bakers to help facilitate this growth.

Bakers Delight continues to enjoy steady growth and is on track to post global revenues of $570 million in FY09 and over six per cent growth in Australia alone.

The market for fresh bread continues to grow in line with the trend towards healthy eating at home. Bakers Delight currently holds a 13.9 per cent share of the Australian market.* The fresh bread market in Australia is currently worth AUD $2.69 billion.

Bakers Delight’s expansion plans in 2009 will see it look for franchisees for new and existing sites across the network. Opportunities include 25 across NSW and ACT, 19 in WA, 18 across VIC and TAS, 18 in QLD, 15 across SA and NT, five in New Zealand and 50 in Canada, where the company trades under COBS Bread.
