The Retail Bakers of America
Torrance Bakery is a proud member of The Retail Bakers of America, the national association for the retail baking industry. Their mission is to empower as many bakers as possible by sharing knowledge and industry rebates. "Founded in 1918, the Retail Bakers of America (RBA), a 501c6 not-for-profit trade association is committed to the success of the retail baking industry. We are a baker's business partner connecting buyers and sellers to build profitable bakeries. Together with our members, we create industry-specific training programs and develop small business programs. We foster the community of retail bakeries providing a forum for the exchange of industry and business information, as well as networking, learning opportunities, and mentoring among bakers, future and existing. We also create industry standards through professional certification, industry research, and school programs. RBA members bring consumers quality bakery foods from supermarket bakery departments, independent bakeries, and food service facilities. Baking instructors, students, and suppliers of ingredients, equipment, supplies, and services are also proud members of RBA. Together, these individuals are redefining the industry - and they are willing to trade ideas through networking and sharing resources and knowledge. In fact, it's the #1 reason our members join. This is a great resource for new bakeries or anyone thinking of opening a bakery!"
