About Franz Family Bakery
Franz Family Bakery, also known as United States Bakery, is a fifth-generation, family-owned baking company founded in 1906 in Portland, Oregon. Over the years, it has grown into one of the largest family-owned baking companies in the United States. The company operates 11 bakeries across nine states.
The company specializes in a wide range of baked goods including bread, buns, bagels, English muffins, sourdough, donuts, rolls, croutons, cookies, and pastries. In response to evolving consumer preferences, Franz Family Bakery expanded its product line to include certified organic, gluten-free, and non-GMO options.
Beyond its flagship Franz brand, the company also offers products under various regional brands such as Seattle Sourdough Baking Company, Seattle International Baking Company, Naked Bread, Dunford, Alaska Grains Baking Company, Keto Culture, Sweetheart, Breadlover’s, and Love’s.
The company's commitment to quality is evident in its dedication to using only the finest ingredients, a standard upheld since its inception. This dedication led to the creation of iconic products like the hamburger bun, popularized by Franz Bakery in the late 1920s.
