The rain may never fall till after sundown.
By eight, the morning fog must disappear.
In short, there’s simply not
A more congenial spot
For happily-ever-aftering
Than here in Camelot. – from the musical “Camelot,” Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe
Do you see that lovely scene above? It’s Camelot, our King Arthur Flour campus – Baker’s Store, Bakery, and Baking Education Center – in Norwich, Vermont, taken on a green and sunny day in late spring, 2011.
We’ve been at this particular location since 1995. And, with the pond and lots of trees, it’s beautiful.
Problem is, we grew. And grew, and grew, until at many times of the year we couldn’t squeeze another customer inside the store.
Classes at the BEC sold out so quickly we couldn’t schedule enough of them to satisfy all of our would-be students.
And our Bakery was hard-pressed to turn out the number of baguettes and napoleons and pizzas demanded by the many folks looking for a fresh-baked treat.
So, what’s a business to do?

Construction is moving along on our new additions. The roofs were put on just in time for winter! We employee-owners finally got to go on a walk-through of the new buildings and see the updates up close. It’s amazing! Since it’s the season of giving, we thought we would share some of our photos with you.

Changes are coming to King Arthur – and they’re not just external.
A stop at The Baker’s Store means a chance to stock up on amazing baking tools and products, a delicious sample or two from our demo kitchen, fresh baked bread and pastries, and helpful and friendly staff assisting you at every turn.
King Arthur has always been committed to giving great service, and we’d like to think we do just that. But it doesn’t mean we can’t try to be even better, does it?

It’s becoming pretty darned hard to fit our retail store into my camera lens. I found myself saying that just the other day, as I took this picture from across the busy road, next to our temporary employee parking area. read the rest of this entry »

Employees and customers share a commonality when going to The Baker’s Store and Café. Every day and every visit, the store looks drastically different.

It looks like the King may be on his feet for the duration of the expansion.
As many of you may have noticed, the old entryway to the Baker’s Store – which contained King Arthur’s throne, as well as the wooden head of his horse – is gone.
When the expansion started in June, the old entryway was ripped down and boarded up, and horse head and throne were taken away.

Construction can be stressful. Construction can be noisy. The sounds that come from a site can try even the most patient of people.
I’m not sure if you’ve noticed, but here at King Arthur Flour, we’re still smiling as big and as bright as ever. Want to know the reason why?
