Brumby’s has been baking fresh since 1975 — and for five decades, the warm smell of bread from your local Brumby’s has been part of daily life in communities across Australia and beyond.
We’ve grown. We’ve evolved. But we’ve never changed what matters: real bakers, real ingredients, baked fresh daily.
Check out the big moments that helped Brumby’s rise. This is our journey – 50 years in the baking.
Brumby’s began in 1975 with the opening of the first store, originally called the “Old Style Bread Centre,” in Ashburton, Victoria. As the bakery grew in popularity, the vision evolved, and in pursuit of a truly Australian identity, the Brumby’s brand was born. From day one, the focus has remained the same: fresh, handcrafted bread baked on-site daily by local bakers.
The smell of fresh bread starts drawing bigger crowds. Families come for loaves, stay for the sweet treats. The Brumby’s name begins to rise across Victoria.
In a bold move, Brumby’s opens a store in the USA – taking a slice of Aussie baking tradition to American shores. A proud moment that proves great bread knows no borders.
Brumby’s takes its passion for baking across Australia. New bakeries open in Queensland, New South Wales and South Australia, all staying true to that local bakery feel.
Brumby’s lands in New Zealand, bringing its signature fresh bread and bakery favourites to Kiwi communities. New Zealanders quickly make Brumby’s part of their daily bread.
Brumby’s cements its place as a go-to local bakery in communities across Australia. Whether it’s school lunches, Sunday barbies or birthday parties – Brumby’s is there.
Innovation meets tradition. Brumby’s experiments with new products, from LowFOD™ bread to gourmet rolls, without ever compromising on freshness.
Even in uncertain times, Brumby’s bakers keep the ovens warm and the shelves stocked. Communities rally around their local bakeries – and we keep rising to the challenge.
Brumby’s celebrates 50 years of baking fresh, every day. From humble beginnings to beloved community favourite – we thank our customers, bakers and franchisees for being part of the journey.
