I 36 PORTION SIZING n a groundbreaking study at a recent bakery and fresh food convention, it was revealed that a majority of households in America have just one or two people. Although this research is not reflective of the whole, it does shed light on the direction we are heading - smaller households and the rising importance of grab-and-go bakery items. In this issue of BakeMark's Panadería, featuring family-owned panaderías in neighborhoods around Chicago and Milwaukee, we put the spotlight on innovative products and merchandising strategies that appeal to shoppers of every type - from the single households to the families looking for a wide variety of appetizing selections. It is important that panaderías recognize the changing face of their local neighborhoods and appeal to a variety of demands. BakeMark is committed to innovation and your continued success. We encourage you to contact your local BakeMark Sales Representative and visit www.bakemark. com to learn more about everything BakeMark has to offer.
