Traynor's Bakery Wholesale is a family owned and operated business. When we bring in new employees and new customers, they become part of the family too.
TRAYNOR'S BAKERY WHOLESALE
Traynor’s Bakery Wholesale began with the purchase of a warehouse and distribution business in 1948 by David Traynor.
In the 50’s, Paul Traynor, the father of the current owners, joined the business. Paul was instrumental in securing a contract to warehouse and distribute flour in the Niagara peninsula. This was the start of the relationship of Traynor’s with the baking industry. As Paul delivered to bakeries, he would receive many requests for the company to carry other ingredients that the bakery required. Over the years Paul was able to convince manufacturers that both the retail baker and the manufacturer could benefit from a central distribution system delivering a bundle of goods rather than one specific product. In the early 70’s, the name Distribution and Warehousing was changed to Traynor’s Bakery Wholesale to reflect the company’s growing emphasis on the baking industry .In the early 1980’s John and Mike Traynor, the current owners, entered the business. John concentrated on sales while Mike worked on operations. The 80’s were a period of continued growth for Traynor’s. One of the main reasons was the introduction of quality frozen products, which continues to be a major segment of Traynor’s business. In 1991, John and Mike purchased the business from their parents. Since then, the business has continued to grow to the point that Traynor’s now ships products to bakeries throughout Canada.
