Their company thrives on providing the freshest and best quality product in the marketplace. They pick up their product early in the marketplace, and replace it with fresh product. This product is still good, it just has a reduced shelf life. Their Bakery Outlet provides a place for their company to recover some of this cost and provides the community with discounted product. The facility also provides an office space and warehouse that their independent distributors use to distribute their product. The brands they represent are Nature’s Own, Wonder, Merita, Cobblestone Bread Company, Sunbeam, and Tastykake.
Hours of operation are 9AM – 6PM Monday-Friday, 9AM-4:30PM Saturday and Closed on Sunday.

Hendersonians Report Discolored Water
Update 5:40 P.M. Tuesday:
The City Clerk, Esther McCrackin, has issued a press release on behalf of the City of Henderson. It states:
“Customers who receive water via the Kerr Lake Regional Water System may be currently experiencing discolored water from their taps. The City believes this is a result of the Kerr Lake Regional Water plant experiencing manganese from the surface water which was removed but was captured in the remaining sludge and is now showing up in the distribution system.
“With the interaction of chlorine, it is making its way through the distribution system, including Henderson customers and also customers of the City of Oxford and Warren County. Based on action taken at the plant as well as additional flushing within the system to take place, the problem with discolored water should be resolved by the end of the week. Should you continue to observe discolored water after this time, please call the Kerr Lake Regional Water Plant at 252-438-2141.
“It is important to note that the water is safe to drink.”
