OUR HISTORY

 First store opened in 1957

In the winter of 1957, Toronto's first Open Window Bakery was opened. Max Feig and his associates arranged the store so that their customers could watch the bakers in full view. Thus the name "Open Window".  Continuing on the family tradition is Gail Agasi (Max's daughter).  Together they persist in keeping the principles of quality and freshness foremost in the family's philosophy.

Open Window enjoys a unique position in the baked goods industry in that it is a manufacturer, wholesaler and retailer of a complete line of breads, rolls, bagels, chalas, cakes, danishes, cookies and more. The finest Kosher ingredients are used to produce a quality product found in our corporate stores, franchises and approximately 500 independent outlets and chains which carry Open Window's products across Ontario  and the nation. 

65,000 sq. ft. of Production in Ontario, Canada

Although most of our company's stores continue to do some baking on site, Open Window's main production centre is in North York (Toronto), on Finch Avenue (just west of Dufferin). 

Today, more than 250 people are employed by Open Window Bakery at the plant and the 10 corporate and franchise stores.  Many employees have been with Open Window for over ten years, some for as long as thirty-nine years.  We are an equal-opportunity employer and a true reflection of Canada's multi-cultural mosaic population.  There is no glass ceiling for any employee regardless of race, colour, gender or religion.

OUR HIGH STANDARDS

The health and safety of our employees is a prime concern of Open Window.  Our company is up-to-date with IAPA training.  All managers have training in First Aid skills, and all employees are regularly updated on safety issues. 

Open Window Bakery is running a food safety program managed by a certified manager.

OUR RECIPE FOR SUCCESS

Even though our company is now equipped with modern production equipment, many of the products are still hand-formed, ensuring that "Old World" traditions of baking are still practiced.  Only vegetable oil and shortening, fresh grade A eggs and the very best of ingredients are used.

Many breads and pastries at Open Window Bakery have been developed in-house and are uniquely popular with our clientele.  Examples range from the Chocolate Ring and Creamy Carrot Cheesecake to Wedding Cakes.  New recipes are constantly developed and tried, resulting in a continuous flow of new products.  Also, from its inception, Open Window has made and sold the finest quality bagels.  Now that this product has been suddenly discovered by so many, Open Window production has almost quadrupled, this despite ever increasing competition.

The spirit of Max Feig, is held true by his daughter, Gail Agasi.  Open Window continues the best in European baking traditions.  Our ever-increasing product line continues to cater to a broad ethnic clientele and our fine service ensures customer loyalty.  The principles of quality and freshness are foremost in the family's philosophy, and even though the sales volumes continue to grow over the years, the family is uncompromising in regulating its "recipe for success".
