Bakery Express

At Orlando’s Bakery Express, you will find over 140 employees from diverse backgrounds kneading dough, assembling baked goods and overseeing the operations in the 34,000 square foot facility.  There’s good reason for all the hustle -- the Bakery produces over 38 million baked goods each year for the Florida division of the largest convenience store chain in the world.

While the scale of the bakery is impressive, even more remarkable is the long-lasting relationship between Bakery Express and Catholic Charities of Central Florida.  For over 10 years, Catholic Charities has been the go-to source for new hires.  Within the last 5 years, owner Mike Remsberg reports that 100% of their new hires come from Catholic Charities.  He says, “The pre-screening, solid job matches and ongoing case management provided by the employment staff of Catholic Charities are an invaluable resource to our company.” 

Mike is also proud of his extremely low turnover rate, due in large part to the strong work ethic and commitment typically displayed in refugees entering the U.S. job market.  He comments that some of his associates in other states are envious of his top-notch referral source and great employees. Mike comments, “I knew Catholic Charities before Bakery Express and knew they were the right organization for our staffing needs.”

Clearly, the “product” – a consistent and reliable workforce backed by Catholic Charities’ support services – speaks for itself.  With over 20 years experience placing refugees in employment, Catholic Charities appreciates and celebrates their strong relationship with Bakery Express as well as businesses throughout Orange, Seminole, Brevard and Osceola counties.
