Aryzta To Settle Bakery Kiosk Court Row In US

Embattled baked goods group Aryzta has reached a tentative settlement in a case involving a Massachusetts firm that alleged it had been engaged by the Swiss-Irish company to help roll out thousands of in-store bakeries across the United States.

Aryzta, which owns brands including Cuisine de France, had been battling Salem-based Groom Construction since March this year.

Groom Construction claimed that it had been approached by Aryzta in February 2016 with a view to the Massachusetts firm constructing kiosks that would be used as in-store bakeries and branded under the Fornetti name. Aryzta had acquired the Hungarian Fornetti bakery business in 2015.
