FRESH GOODS + QUALITY INGREDIENTS = LOYAL CUSTOMERS

ith baking hours from 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 Wavailable warm andQuality throughout p.m., Arremony’s Bakery products are fresh the day. Owner Philip Arremony describes the Jewett City, Connecticut business as an “Old World” style bakery that has maintained its popular product line since its founding in 1960. Phil has taken Arremony’s Quality Bakery services beyond those of a retail bakery. He offers catering services, and plans to develop a mail-order operation. Why not? He already ships baked goods to the west coast and Florida to satisfy former Jewett City residents. In fact, some Arremony customers travel as far as 50 miles to pick up their favorite baked goods. They place their orders in advance in order to schedule visits around Arremony’s two week summer shut down. What generates such enthusiasm? For starters, Babka bread, sweetened with golden raisins, Whoopie pies (a cream filling between two chewy chocolate cookies), chocolate chip cookies and date or apricot filled shortbread cookies. Phil, who grew up in the business and learned the trade from his father Philip F. Arremony, took over in 1996. Phil’s son Ian has followed his father into the business. In Phil’s view, a major challenge facing bakers today is the nutritional awareness of today’s customers. “Using good, pure ingredients is essential,” he said. “Because customers expect consistency in my products.” For consistent results, Phil relies on International® Bakers Services to flavor all of Arremony’s baked goods. Phil is particularly fond of the Vanilla Crystals he adds to his “wonderfully delicious” donut glaze. If you want consistent quality, turn to International® Bakers Services.
