Elaborating on the business model , Brett continues : “ We supply to both retail and wholesale customers . On the retail side , we have a small , yet wildly successful storefront next to our factory in Port Chester , which has the same opening hours of 7am to 7.30pm . We have 14 chefs responsible for retail production , working around the clock to produce cakes , cookies , pies , muffins , or other baked goods for customers to order and collect .
“ On the wholesale side , we have regular customers who order from us each day , many of which are large chain companies that then distribute our products across the US . For some clients , we also produce baked goods to be sold under their brand . This department is not like cooking in a kitchen ; we have industrial mixers , such as a dough mixer with a minimum capacity of 2000 pounds , to enable large-scale production .
“ In terms of our product evolution , our initial core product was different breads .
