FOR MANY, OBTAINING OUR DAILY BREAD IS ENGRAINED INTO EVERYDAY LIFE.
Blending modernization with tradition, COBS Breads strives to bring quality products and information to customers, making them one of the main sources for fresh bread products in Airdrie. With transparency on ingredients a major draw, the Towerlane bakery is receiving an upfront facelift that will provide even more information to bread lovers. “There’s lots of nice upgrades for lots of information,” says COBS Bread bakery owner/operator Alma-Louise Norris. “We’re getting a new, fresh look in the front and we’re hoping everyone will come in and say hello.” Upgraded lit cabinets, three huge TV screens, and their famous ‘what’s in it’ button will shed even more light for health-conscience bread enthusiasts. “For people who have digestive problems, we have two breads – the low FOD and long-fermenting sour dough breads which are easier on the gut.” Using quality, scratch baking techniques with no preservatives, COBS guarantees fresh bread products every morning. From savoury to sweet, lunch pizzas to the Family Favourite cinnamon buns, and gourmet hotdog and hamburger buns, there’s something for everyone. “Of course we will be gearing up for Easter, with dinner buns and hot cross buns and all the flavours we have at this time of year,” says Norris, who will be taking pre-orders for Easter again. Locally owned for over 10 years, Norris ensures the shelves are empty at the end of the day by giving back to the community. She donates to Rocky View school lunch programs, outreach charities and the Airdrie Food Bank. “We want to make sure our products get to the people who need it. That’s one of the reasons I bought COBS; that they had this built into their business plan was a win for me.” Working through the early morning hours, COBS business is to produce the best, freshest, natural quality bread products. “COBS stands for Celebration of Breads. So we’re going to be celebrating our new face lift, our great products, and continue to help people. The staff is always happy to answer any questions.”
