Our Story
Our History
The old saying “Mother knows best” sure came true for us! Our story began after Fady Hayek and his family moved to Vancouver from Ottawa, sold their restaurant business and were looking for a new opportunity. His mother teasingly suggested opening a bakery to sell pitas made from an old family recipe, and thank goodness 25-year-old Fady took her advice to heart. Over thirty years later the Pita Bread Factory, under the Bakestone Brothers and 24th Avenue labels, continues to thrive. Today, we are a certified organic bakery that offers a wide array of ethnic bread products and baked goods that are sold throughout Canada and parts of the United States under our own labels and the private labels of many happy retail partners.
While our origins began in 1984 with pita hand-made in a small commercial kitchen, we now proudly offer a wide range of wholesome products from our certified and sophisticated manufacturing operation that still relies on the traditions of our artisanal roots. Even though we have grown in size, our Bakestone Brothers family continues to create the finest baked goods for your family, using timeless techniques and the legacy of the Hayek family’s commitment to fresh, wholesome products made in the spirit of Mama’s kitchen. We take our responsibility to our family and yours seriously, so you can always count on fresh and fabulous food for your table.
