COBS Bread Franchise
Bakery
COBS Bread started in Vancouver, BC, Canada with the opening of the Edgemont bakery in November 2003. Its opening team of people included some Aussies who had travelled far and wide but fell in love with Beautiful British Columbia. These intrepid Aussies were from Bakers Delight – a retail bread baking group.
Please feel free to visit the Bakers Delight website at www.bakersdelight.com.au
One of these wandering Aussies is a 5th generation baker. COBS bread is a young, energetic company with high ambitions; dedicated to providing the community with the best and freshest bread possible.
COBS Bread has built a company that places a high emphasis on learning and personal development by supporting and challenging its people to reach their fullpotential.

Many people ask "What does COBS mean, what does it stand for?" A COB loaf is one of our most popular crusty breads so why not immortalise the name? Some of our team think COBS should stand for Canada's Own Bread Stores
