For 140 years, descendents of Giustino Orlando have been producing breads, rolls and other baked goods—first in southern Italy and then in Cleveland, when sons Vincenzo and Guiseppe emigrated to America in 1904 and opened The Orlando Brothers Bakery.
Through the years, the company grew and moved to larger facilities while it began offering delivery service (first by horse and buggy and then by truck), underwent minor name changes as younger family members took charge, introduced new products (it was the first U.S. bakery to produce ciabatta) and, most recently, added state-of-the-art baking equipment and new technology to its 200,000-sq.-ft. bakery on Cleveland’s Grand Avenue.
