BAKE: How do you prioritize working with naturally
fermented dough?
LODGE BREAD: We don't work with any yeast in the
bakery and only use sourdough cultures.
It's the way
people have made bread for a long time, and we like
that tradition, in addition to the flavor profiles we're
able to achieve.
BAKE: How do you differentiate your business from
others?
LODGE BREAD: We stand out by being a 100% sourdough
bakery that uses whole-grain flour not found on
the mass market. We don't make white loaves of bread
or hyper-sweet pastries; we make good, simple products
with respect to the grain and respect to the talented
bakers under our roof.
BAKE: How do you scout out and determine the best
location for your stores?
LODGE BREAD: It's all about the customer for us. We
look for spots with a family-oriented, neighborhood-y
feel. For our spots, we don't seek out the trendiest
locations, because they come with a heavy price tag
and the clientele isn't as consistent and supportive.
Neighborhoods like Culver City, Woodland Hills, and
Long Beach have a ton of younger and older families
looking for good food and pastries to support on a
weekly business. We are a family-driven business, and
we try to find pockets of family. We want to make sure
folks are coming back.
BAKE: What have you opened and what are your
immediate business plans for store openings? How did
you decide on the types of locations to open?
LODGE BREAD: After our first Lodge Bread location,
we have since opened another Lodge location
in Woodland Hills and a kosher hummus restaurant,
Hasiba, in the Pico-Robertson area. Hasiba is a passion
project centered around a deep love for Middle Eastern
cuisine, and we serve fresh hummus, hand-made pita,
and sandwiches. Our next Lodge location will be in Long
Beach, and we have plans to open two Full Proof pizza
locations - one in Beverly Hills and one in Brentwood.
The pizza is NY-style and naturally leavened, with menu
standouts like Goat Cheese and Chicories, Potato and
Leek, and Wild Mushroom.
We decided on the types of locations to open based
around what we felt the city needed, in addition to what
we do best. We definitely felt the need for more NY-style,
