Entenmann's

American baked goods manufacturer

Entenmann's is a formerly American-owned company, now owned by the Mexican conglomerate Grupo Bimbo, that manufactures baked goods and delivers them throughout the US to supermarkets and other retailers for public sales. Often, they are known to have display cases at the end of store aisles.

More than 100 different items carry the Entenmann's brand, including dessert, cup, loaf, and crumb cakes; donuts, cookies, pies, cereal bars, muffins, pastries, and other baked goods including buns. The company has added coffee flavors and scented candles to their product line. Entenmann's is a 128-year-old company originating in New York City. William Entenmann learned the trade of baking from his father in Stuttgart, Germany, and used his acquired skills to work in a bakery in the US, eventually opening his own bakery in 1898 on Rogers Avenue in Brooklyn. Later, William moved his bakery to Bay Shore, Long Island. Home delivery was a substantial part of the bakery that William owned, eventually turning into 30 home delivery routes by the time his son, William Jr., took over the bakery. While William Jr. headed the bakery, it flourished; Frank Sinatra was a weekly customer. William Jr. died in 1951, leaving the bakery to his wife Martha and their sons, Robert, Charles, and William.
