Mrs. Baird’s Bakeries in Fort Worth carries on the legacy of a courageous entrepreneur who made it big, when the term “businesswoman” was a literal nonentity. At the turn of the 20th century Ninnie and William Baird moved to Fort Worth, Texas from Tennessee. Being a restaurateur by trade William Baird set up a quaint little popcorn cart that was painted bright red, fitted with shiny bras fittings and had a loud steam whistle. Business was brisk and the family soon bought another popcorn cart, ultimately earning enough money to open up a restaurant in 1905.

The Mrs. Baird’s Bakery in Fort Worth, which incidentally was the first bakery of the chain, conducts guided tours of the factory. During this 45 minute excursion visitors will be shown the entire process that goes into creating a loaf of bread. The tour is especially entertaining for young children as the colourful mascots that accompany the visitors recount colourful snippets of Mrs. Baird’s history while explaining the behind the scenes action at a bakery.

Following the tragic illness of her husband Ninnie Baird together with her children undertook the entire workload of the restaurant and in time converted the establishment into a bakery. Mrs. Baird’s Bread soon became a popular brand due to its signature quality and taste. As business grew steadily Ninnie relocated her bakery to a bigger property at 6th Avenue and grew further to become one of the largest bakeries in Texas.

Later in 1928, Mrs. Baird started what would be an extremely successful expansion plan the first of what would be many new bakeries was opened up in Trinity River Dallas. Having made it through the lean economic times of the Great Depression, the company was poised for rapid growth and in 1938 more than thirty years after its establishment Mrs.Baird’s Bread had grown into four bakeries and made deliveries using a fleet of trucks.

The company’s commitment to good work ethic and employee welfare ensured its continuous growth, by the 1950′s the small home based business had grown into a brand recognized all over the USA. Though Ninnie Baird passed away in 1961, the Baird family and more recently Grupo Bimbo had worked tirelessly to ensure that the same commitment to quality and freshness is maintained.
