LE BOULANGER ANNOUNCES "WE'RE STILL HERE!" Popular Sunnyvale Based Bread Maker and Operator of 17 Bakery-Cafés, Pronounced Luh-Boo-Lawn-Zhay
Makes an Announcement on the Heels of Recent Mistaken Identity! SUNNYVALE, CA: July 19, 2015, Le Boulanger, Inc. , the Northern California family-owned Bay Area bread maker and operator of 17 bakery-cafes, Chief Executive Officer, Dan Brunello announced, "We're still here," on the heels of mistaken identity from a recent announcement regarding another similar sounding company name, La Boulange, stating they were closing their locations. To avoid confusion, Le Boulanger, is spelled with an "Le" not "La," and ends with an "r", is pronounced: Luh-Boo-Lawn-Zhay, (French for "the baker"), and has been in operations in the South Bay Area since 1981.
"We are proud to reassure our longtime loyal guests and partners that all of our 17 bakery-cafes are OPEN for business, serving our fresh pastries and sandwiches," said Brunello. "Our manufacturing facility in Sunnyvale is still operating with our artisan bakers proudly making thousands of loaves of bread and pastries for wholesale and catering orders," he continued. "We appreciate and thank all them for their continued patronage." Read More |
