Frontenac Bakery

Frontenac Bakery Owners ~ The Robinson Family Frontenac Bakery was established in 1900 by George V***a, an Italian immigrant. That is how and why Frontenac Bakery came to life!
(1)

Prior to coming to Frontenac, V***a was a baker in northern Italy. He came to southeast Kansas to work in the coal mines. After injuring his knee in a mining accident, he went back to baking here in Frontenac, Kansas. He had brought his family recipe for hard-crust Italian bread with him and it is still used today. The Frontenac Bakery provides 500 to 700 loaves of bread to Jim's Steakhouse in Pit

tsburg and all six chicken restaurants located in Crawford County including Chicken Annie's, Chicken Mary's, Pichler's Chicken Annie's, Chicken Annie's Girard, Barto's Idle Hour and Gebhardt's. Additionally, the bakery bakes breadsticks, bread crumbs, dinner rolls, stuffing and cinnamon rolls that are sold to local grocery stores in Crawford County

You asked, we listened 🦻

We’ve been asked about the thin, crunchy style breadsticks that people over the years have come to know and love. We’ve worked on refining our process to get back to that standard as well as occasionally keep some diversity with the bigger, softer sticks.

Pick some up at Pichler's Chicken Annie's, Ron's Supermarket, Raider Express, and G&W Girard!

Fresh bread deliveries to many of our local restaurants and vendors today as always!
