Canada Bread Bakery Deal Firmed Up Fast

A deal that landed a new multimillion-dollar baking plant as the anchor tenant
in Hamilton’s newest industrial park was completed at a breakneck pace of less
than a month because both the city and the company were anxious for a deal.

“We were very motivated to find a location, and Hamilton was very motivated to
have us,” said Jeanette Jones, communications vice-president for Canada Bread.
“We were anxious to find an attractive piece of property that met all of our
requirements, and Hamilton had the infrastructure.”

Canada Bread, 90 per cent owned by Maple Leaf Foods, announced Wednesday it will
spend $100 million to build a new bakery on the east Mountain, in the Red Hill
Business Park in the Nebo Road-Twenty Road area.
