Today, this bakery is one of the largest in the Western Cape, grown from humble beginnings as the Kommetjie Continental Bakery in 1976. A professional baker, Bo Horton, saw the bakery’s potential. Then found financial backers and partners to rename the Continental Bakery and found the Compass Bakery.
So Horton was the first bakery technologist hired by Woolworths. Leading to his goods gracing the shelves of Woolworths stores.
Compass Bakery is most famous for its biscuits and other baked goods. The bakery recently produced a new product for Woolworths. The popular Marshmallow Brownies.
