Founded in 1969, over the years, the “Boulangerie Regionale” has always been at the heart of economic activity in the region, offering top quality products to Magdalen Islanders. In early 2000, faced with new challenges in remaining competitively up to date resulted in actively seeking ways to develop and advance the business.

The local food cooperatives, united under the name ‘L’idéale fédérée’, were excited by the idea and found it pertinent to unite efforts in order to develop new products and even consider exporting products. The vision and orientation of the business were very similar to those of the cooperatives. The context favoured a unified business relationship between many members of the sector to market to new markets. The experience was conclusive. The quality of the products and services offered convinced the ‘Coop Atlantique’ to explore and develop this association. This collaboration permitted the “Boulangerie” to benefit from a greater visibilty within the local cooperatives. In addition, the door to the maritime province markets was opened, by the intermediary, the ‘Coop Atlantique’.

The business plans to export certain products to outside markets, notably to grocery stores with an integrated bakery within the store and to specialized supermarkets.

In 2001, restructuring the business began, and ever since, there have been noticeable improvements made at every level. We are researching and elaborating new products to meet expansion projects that involve exporting innovative, interesting and delicious products.

In 2003, modernizing and acquiring the appropriate equipment resulted in an increase in production, the development of new products and superior quality products. We have invested in the development of new products, in training employees and we have improved production procedures. In addition, we have renewed our image with the creation of a more modern signature logo and by changing our packaging to present our new products. In December 2003, the ‘Régionale’ began sending many bread dough based products to the four maritime provinces, that are destined for bakeries within Atlantic Coop grocery stores.

The ‘Boulangerie Régionale’ is poised for the future, and set to tackle new challenges, continuing to explore additional markets and collaboration with new clients.
