As we approach a holiday season unlike any other, La Brea Bakery surveyed over 500 consumers to get a sense for how they are planning to celebrate and how they plan to incorporate bread into their holiday meals.
“La Brea Bakery has always been dedicated to providing offerings that fit our customers’ needs and while this year has been full of changes, that dedication remains true,” says Brie Buenning, director of marketing for La Brea Bakery. “This is going to be a holiday season unlike any other and unsurprisingly, people are choosing to stay closer to home and celebrate in smaller groups or simplify their holiday meals. We’ll likely see many looking for classic flavors that can complement multiple meals and an uptick in dinner rolls or breads they can bake at home for convenience and smaller servings. Both at the La Brea Bakery café in Los Angeles as well as through our national distribution, we’re continuing to supply quality bread and hope that we can help accommodate our customers’ holidays however they may be celebrating.”
