After nearly 92 years this family-owned bakery in Sudbury will close up shop
CBC
When Sudbury's Golden Grain Bakery bakes its last loaf on Dec. 3, it will be a bittersweet moment for brothers John and David Andler.
"It'll be sad that the day that we close, but we're also excited too for the next next step in our lives, whether it be doing this or just doing something totally different," said John, who along with his brother, owns the bakery which has been a staple in the northern Ontario city for nearly 92 years.
In October the city announced Golden Grain was part of its $12-million deal to purchase several downtown properties to make way for a potential new arena.

John said his grandfather started the bakery in 1932, three years after he emigrated to Sudbury from Yugoslavia to work underground in the Creighton Mine.
"They were farmers. But he knew about bread," John said.
His father and uncle took over the family business years later, and then he and David became the third generation of Andlers to run the Golden Grain Bakery.
Today, they bake around 2,000 loaves of bread every day, along with an assortment of other baked goods they sell at their storefront.
The bakery delivers much of its bread to local grocery stores and restaurants.
David said they've built a loyal customer base, and some people have been visiting their storefront for 80 years.
They even have a regular customer from the U.S. who buys 150 loaves of bread at a time.
"He says you can't get bread like this down there," David said.
Both brothers started to help out at the bakery when they were children, and worked there regularly by their teenage years.
"And so it's been, what, for me full-time for 36 years, 37 years," John said.
