Joshua and Alyssa Kaufmann Family, Owners

Born and raised in the Dallas Center area, Alyssa (Keller) Kaufmann remembers visiting Keller's Kountry Store as a child.  Owned by her aunt, it was just around the corner from her home on a gravel road.
A decade and half later the store had been renamed The Baker's Pantry, was now located along Sugar Grove Avenue (Hwy 44) and was up for sale by a different owner.
Joshua and Alyssa Kaufmann purchased the store in 2015 with several goals in mind. These goals still drive our service to you.
-Local family owned and operated business.
-Good old-fashioned service.
-Quality products for your family and ours.

The Baker's Pantry features bulk foods, a deli, a lunch and coffee shop menu, and many local specialty groceries and items. We truly are a destination that you have to experience for yourself!

When you shop here your food dollars go to the local..."
