Miller Baking To Add 30 Jobs, Focus Solely On Pretzilla With Expansion

Milwaukee-based Miller Baking Co. is renovating its North 5th Street facility to expand production of Pretzillapretzel bread products while closing its local fresh bakery operations.

The addition of a second production facility will lead to the addition of 30 jobs. Owner Brian Miller said he hopes to have the 18,000-square-foot facility at 1415 N. Fifth St. fully operational by the fall.

While the growth and addition of jobs is good news, Miller said it is bittersweet because it marks the end of the company’s fresh bakery operations, which included rye bread, challah and doughnuts.

“I have tremendous gratitude for the generations of customers who have enjoyed Miller Baking products,” he said. “Their support helped make Pretzilla possible.”
