Home Style History

 No matter if you've recently moved to the great state of Colorado, you've been in Grand Junction your whole life, or you are here to attend college at CMU, it can never hurt to know a little more history about the place you're living.


Home Style Bakery was founded here in Grand Junction in the summer of 1948. When the shop opened in June, owners Walt Schultz and Al Troester had just five employees working at its original location on North Avenue. It wasn't until 24 years later that the shop moved to 7th street where it is still open for business today.


Since it opened Home Style has changed ownership and moved locations, but the mission has always been the same. As one of the last true bakeries left in Colorado, the shop puts in the work to have fresh baked goods every morning to sell to the community. Whether you love donuts, pastries, bagels, bread, cookies, cakes or any number other treats that you can imagine, Home Style is a living piece of Grand Junction history that will provide baked goods for decades to come.

If you don't like sweet things in the morning, you know that bagels are a gift to us all. Whether you like a simple bagel or you go all out, the truth is that there is absolutely nothing bad about them. In fact, we’re going to go over all the reasons that bagels are absolutely amazing.     1. Bread Everyone loves bread, and if you don't you are seriously missing out on something. Even those who have to have it gluten-free have found a way to enjoy it, and bagels are no exception. Nobody can live without carbs (probably) and bagels are only bread made better with things like poppy seeds, cheese, and everything else that could possibly go on a bagel.     2.
