We have two shops on Gloucester Rd in Bristol. The original Joe’s Bakery is in the middle section of the road at No. 240. In 2018, we expanded by adding the former Bread Store bakery, now known as Joe’s Bakery At the Breadstore.
The bakery’s roots go back to a commitment to traditional baking methods. Its expertise was developed over many years through hands-on experience and learning from skilled artisan bakers. Training at Bristol Bakery School (now part of the City of Bristol College) and study tours across Europe and the USA helped refine fermentation, pastry, and craft baking techniques.
Wayne joined in 1997 as a sixteen-year-old general helper and gradually acquired many skills, becoming a Bakery Manager in 2016. He is now a Director and Shareholder of Joe’s Bakery. Jenny started 2006 as a Saturday shop assistant, introduced by her grandfather, a long-serving employee. Over time, she expanded her skills and knowledge, and today, she is a Director and Shareholder with particular responsibility for Retail Shops Management.
