Local bread, cake and pastry icon Pastian’s Bakery hit a landmark 40th anniversary this week.
Pastian’s ovens and bakers have been turning out breads, cakes, buns and pastries for retail and wholesale customers around town since 1972.
That was the year Harry Pastian bought the Winrock Bakery at Wi
As business expanded, he bought a former sheet metal workshop at 3320 Second St. in the North Valley and transformed it into the hub of the baking operation.
Over the years, the bulk of Pastian’s business has shifted from folks who stopped in to buy their regular doughnut or Danish fix to wholesale accounts like restaurants, hotels and nursing homes who buy breads, rolls and buns.
