COBS Bread Celebrates 6th Year on the 2024 Best Workplaces in Retail & Hospitality List

COBS Bread is thrilled to announce its inclusion on the 2024 Best Workplaces in Retail & Hospitality list. This recognition underscores COBS Bread’s commitment to creating a positive and supportive workplace culture, as assessed by Great Place to Work®.

The list is based on direct feedback from employees of hundreds of organizations surveyed by Great Place to Work®. As COBS Bread continues to grow, the business has demonstrated dedication to supporting its team, customers, and communities where the bakeries operate and serve focusing on employee well-being and engagement, as highlighted by the Trust Index survey.

“Working at COBS is amazing,” says Wendy Forbes, a staff member from COBS Bread Century Crossing in Spruce Grove, AB. “I love my teammates, customers, and the friendly, stress-free environment. It’s also amazing to work for a business that gives back to the community with our COBS Bread End of Day Giving Program. Knowing that everything we bake that doesn’t get sold is donated to local charities at the end of the day is incredibly rewarding.”

“COBS Bread is a great place to work because of the strong team spirit and the supportive culture,” says Vevette Villahermosa, Director of People and Culture. “It’s rewarding to see how our work positively impacts our bakeries and the communities we serve.”

Continuing its tradition of excellence, COBS Bread remains committed to enhancing workplaces and innovating retail and hospitality across North America. From their first bakery opening in Canada over 20 years ago, COBS Bread has aimed to become every community’s favourite bakery, sharing their love for freshly baked bread and treats.
