CAPABILITIES OVERVIEW Updated October 2013 1 2 3 THE COSTANZO’S BAKERY ADVANTAGE OUR HERITAGE In 1933, an ambitious Angelo Costanzo started a small western New York bakery along the Niagara River known as Costanzo's Bread. He delivered Italian breads to mom and pop grocery stores throughout Buffalo, New York. The business continued to grow, and with the advent of the supermarket concept you could now find Buffalo’s favorite “Costanzo’s Bread” stocked in every store. Over the years Costanzo’s became a trusted brand throughout the Buffalo market. In the 70’s, Angelo Sr. saw the growth potential of submarine shops and pizzerias and refocused the company on servicing local foodservice establishments. Because of the reputation for quality built through the company’s retail sales, Costanzo’s was widely accepted in foodservice and quickly became the desired roll for Buffalo’s leading sub shops. At the same time, Angelo began grooming Angelo Jr. and his brother to take over and expand the family business. In 1977, Angelo Jr. and his brother took over the bakery and moved into a new, larger facility to support their continued growth. As local sales increased, the natural progression was to expand into the national marketplace by developing a line of frozen, fully baked sub rolls and round rolls. This was the beginning of Costanzo’s Bakery, Inc. Over the next several years, Angelo also groomed his sons to take over the business; and in 2000, the third generation was at the helm supported by a team of experienced bakery industry professionals and vendor partners. Today, Costanzo’s Bakery, Inc. operates a modern, AIB-certified facility in Cheektowaga, New York featuring a popular local bakery outlet and submarine shop on-site. Our company-owned fleet provides fresh DSD delivery service to leading foodservice and retail operators throughout the Buffalo/Niagara region where the phrase “Served on a Costanzo’s Roll” is a common sight on local menu boards. Driven by our humble roots in Buffalo, our growing national sales team and broker network has significantly expanded our frozen foodservice and retail sales throughout North America. As the company approaches its 80th anniversary, we are committed to maintaining the promise made by Angelo Costanzo, Sr. back in 1933: “We will deliver the highest quality, most consistent product to our customers every day, every time.” 5 THE COSTANZO’S ADVANTAGE Modern 100,000 sq. ft.
