About the founders
Frank, Mabel, and the bakery legacy Tifton still loves.
Frank Rhodes and Mabel Dudley met while working in retail bakeries in the 1930s. They married in 1937 and traveled across the Southeast setting up and operating bakeries. With small children, they chose Tifton as home in 1959.
Over 60 years and 3 generations later, we are still using the same recipes that were used in 1959. We pride ourselves on consistency and making a good, fresh product to fill our showcases daily.
Fresh Made Daily
Every product starts from scratch each morning so customers get the freshest possible bite.
Family Tradition
Three generations of the Rhodes family have carried forward the same trusted baking processes and formulas.
Clean Lunch
House-baked bread and preservative-free Metro Deli meats keep the lunch menu honest.
