An Oakland man is now the new owner of what’s believed to be the Bay Area's oldest and possibly the last kosher bakery, acquiring the business for $1.Last month, Bear Silber closed the deal on the historic Grand Bakery, taking over the wholesale business from Sam Tobis.
The $1 he paid for the business included customer accounts and recipes, though he's had to make additional investments in equipment and inventory. And he said he's maintained mostly the same staff and customer routes. Silber has owned a number of other Bay Area businesses, including Powell’s Sweet Shoppe, and he comes from a family with knowledge of running a highly successful kosher bakery.
