Whole Foods Gluten-Free Bakery Products

[Guest guest]

Please see the below e-mail from Whole Foods. By the end of the year, Lee Tobin's Whole Foods Gluten-Free Bakehouse products will reach the West Coast's Whole Foods bakery section. When I was in North Carolina a few years ago for the GIG convention, Lee Tobin was just starting his new g-f bakery for Whole Foods. He is a celiac himself, and he baked all of the breads, muffins, cakes, brownies and goodies for the celiac convention. They were absolutely delicious. If you go to the link that Jill mentions in her e-mail, you can see all of the bakery products that Lee makes. I can't wait!!

Dear Ms. Hersom,

Thank you very much for your email and your interest in our products. We are currently adjusting to the jump in production from the addition of the southwest and rocky mountain regions. The Midwest has just started carrying our products this month, and we will expand westward as quickly as our production capacity will allow. We expect our entire gluten free product line to retail in Whole Foods Market stores nationwide well before the end of the year.

We appreciate your patronage in our stores. Because of your interest in our products, we will email you a notification once our baked goods hit store shelves in your area. Also, check periodically with the Bakery Team Leader at your local Whole Foods store for the latest news about the upcoming rollout date. Your inquiry will remind our store personnel of your continued interest. Furthermore, you may see a continually-updated list of stores that carry our products at the Gluten-Free Bakehouse website: http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/products/gf_bakehouse.html

Please let me know if there is anything else with which I can assist you.

Sincerely,

Jill Kuzo

Administrative Assistant

Whole Foods Market

Could you please tell me if any of Lee Tobin's gluten-free bakery products will come to California, especially in San ? His products are absolutely delicious, and there are thousands of celiacs in the Bay Area. Better yet, will a Whole Foods gluten-free bakery open in the Bay Area? Thanks.
