Chicago Wholesale Bakery Opening In Pleasant Prairie

A Chicago wholesale bakery plans to open a new facility in Pleasant Prairie, a move that could eventually bring 300 jobs to the Kenosha County community.

Gold Standard Baking Inc. plans to lease a 204,400-square-foot light industrial building that was developed by CenterPoint Properties on 12 acres at 10490 88th Ave. That site, at the southwest corner of Highway 165 and Highway H, is in LakeView Corporate Park.

The company expects to have about 90 employees at the bakery during its first year, according to a village Plan Commission report. It would eventually have about 300 employees when fully used, the report said.
