Before Linda’s Bakery<\/h2>\n

1944 – Storandt’s\u00a0son Fillmore “Fliver” Storandt\u00a0bought the bakery from his father after working there for 8 years. He ran the bakery with his wife Angeline.<\/p>\n

Linda’s Bakery<\/h2>\n

Linda’s Salem Bakery began in 1973 when Linda\u00a0purchased the downtown West Salem business from Harold Hetland.\u00a0While being\u00a0a single mother of two, Linda worked long hours to the success of Linda’s Salem Bakery.<\/p>\n

To help Linda out, her brother Marc started working at the bakery as a teenager in 1976.\u00a0 Marc became\u00a0Linda’s partner in 1979 after attending baking school at Dunwoody Institute in Minneapolis, MN.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”2653″ img_size=”large”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”2654″ img_size=”large”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]In 1983, Linda’s Bakery moved\u00a0to its current\u00a0location in order to take advantage of the increased traffic on the Highway 16. The bakery shared the building until 1994 when Linda’s Bakery was remodeled to its current configuration.<\/p>\n

Linda retired in 2008 and sold her interest in the bakery to Marc and his wife Sue. In 2017, Linda’s Bakery was further improved, adding\u00a0more seating,\u00a0a new wedding cake consultation area, and a new cake display freezer.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Linda’s Bakery today has over 70 full-time, part-time, and seasonal employees and on busiest days serves over 1,000 customers. Linda’s now serves gourmet espresso coffee drinks and modern treats such as creme puffs and Cake Pops, but most recipes have remained the same for over 50 years.<\/p>\n

Linda’s Bakery is THE local\u00a0destination for every day sweets and treats, celebration cakes and desserts, and holiday products for traditions old and new.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”2655″ img_size=”large”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
