Ben's Bakery Celebrates More Than One Century Of Baking Excellence In Atlantic Canada

TORONTO – Ben's® Bakery, Atlantic Canada's favourite bread, is celebrating more than one century of baking excellence with its 110th anniversary of providing quality and nutritious baked goods to consumers.  A household name amongst Atlantic Canadians, two of the bakery's traditional favourites – Ben's® Holsum Fresh White and Wheat bread 500 g – will receive a size makeover to mark this milestone celebration.

Available for a limited time only where Ben's® bread is sold across Atlantic Canada, beginning April 6, 2017, Ben's® Bakery will offer the same great taste of Ben's® Holsum Fresh White and Wheat bread in 630 g packages (four extra slices) for the same price, making it an ideal size for families. While the slices will be wider and shorter, the thickness will remain the same.

"For the past 110 years, Ben's® has enjoyed a rich history in Atlantic Canada and we are proud to be the leading provider of nutritious and delicious baked goods that support the health and well-being of every Atlantic Canadian."
