Sam Tobis, the owner of Bay Area Jewish bakery Grand Bakery, is selling the business for only $1.
For the past seven years, Sam Tobis has learned the ins and outs of running the Bay Area’s oldest kosher bakery, from holding all-night challah-making sessions to delivering food to both bar mitzvahs and families sitting shiva. Now, he’s trying to find someone else to take on the “joy and hard work” of Oakland’s Grand Bakery, and he’s pricing the 64-year-old business to sell: It’s only $1.
” Interest had already started pouring in as of Wednesday evening. Tobis’ decision to sell comes as he shifts more of his attention to a Jewish deli in Berkeley, Saul’s, which he became co-owner of last year. He hopes to find a “young Jewish baker who is passionate about the food and is sensible about business,” to maintain Grand Bakery’s legacy. “It's more than just a bakery, it’s a community institution,” Tobis said.
