The Atlantic Bakery Expo, Now Renamed
Artisan Bakery Expo,
Has Been Rescheduled For
October 16 & 17, 2022
____________________

Yes the long anticipated Expo is just a year away. So, while it may be a little to early to start packing your bags, I need to ask you.



Why Attend

At the largest annual Artisan Bakery Expo, the artisan baking community will experience an event where EVERYTHING on the show floor is appropriate for your business.

  • industry suppliers
  • distributors and dealers showing their equipment
  • ingredients and services specifically developed for those bakers supplying and selling fresh, unpackaged baked goods from retail and food service outlets.

At this event artisan bakers will be able to wander the floor of a trade show developed just for them! The specialty equipment, products and services will be right there in the open, not hidden by multi-story tall commercial baking systems.

Discover new products and brands, learn from industry greats with 30+ educational sessions and demonstrations – all under one roof … just for the artisan baker.

Ever thought of expanding into pizza? You’ll be more than welcome at International Pizza Expo to visit its more than 550 exhibitors and their 70 additional seminars ranging from small business management to the latest styles of pizza. Pizza Expo is being staged at the exact same time! Two shows for the price of one!

Get ready for a great Expo!

Riesterers Bakery Celebrates
Its 90th Anniversary
Serving Long Island

Riesterers' Bakery has been on Long Island for 90 years. It all started in 1931 when August, known as Gus, and his wife Wally opened their American dream bakery in West Hempstead. Both were born in Germany and left with a dream in mind. August, a certified master baker, learned his skills in Frieburg, Germany. After arriving in America both worked at various jobs in New York and Hoboken, N. J..Getting married in 1927 and saving their earnings, they found a bakery for sale on Long Island.
They opened their Bakery during the depression years, very hard times. Mrs. Riesterer would turn the lights off when customers left and put them back on when new ones arrived.
 
Quality and only using fresh and wholesome products was their goal. Many of the East End farmers stopped by and bartered their products for delicious bakery items on their way to New York City.

With quality they grew, later adding a second store nearby.
 
Wally and August had two children, Janet and Karl. Janet pursued her dreams of playing the piano and being a teacher.

Karl always loved baking and its many challenges.

An angry wife calls her husband who is late for dinner and yells to the phone, “Where the heck are you?”

Husband replies, “Darling, you remember that jewelry shop where you saw the diamond necklace and totally fell in love with it, and I didn’t have money that time, and I said ‘Baby it’ll be yours one day’?”

Wife, with a smile and blushing, replies sweetly, “Yeah I remember that my love!”

Husband says, “I’m in the pub just next to that shop.”
