Commercial bakery opens in Halethorpe
Bakery Express opened a new manufacturing facility with 300 employees yesterday on Hollins Ferry Road in Halethorpe. The commercial baking company is the lead tenant in a new 210,000-square-foot plant that was redeveloped by Baltimore-based Merritt Properties. Bakery Express consolidated three divisions from other Baltimore locations into the renovated building: a division that makes baked goods for 1,100 7-Eleven stores in the mid-Atlantic; Ms. Desserts, which serves restaurants; and Jeanne's Gourmet, which bakes goods for school and nonprofit fundraisers. Georgetown Bakery Management Corp., parent of Bakery Express, received a $500,000 loan from Baltimore County's Small-Business Loan Partnership and a $250,000 loan from the county's business Growth Fund Zone.
