The story of United States Bakery and Franz Family Bakeries began in 1897 when Engelbert Franz, at age 15, wrote to his uncle, who owned the United States Bakery in Portland, Oregon. Engelbert asked his uncle to send him passage to travel from Rothsaifen, Austria to Portland, Oregon. In return, Engelbert would work for his uncle and pay him back. His uncle, needing dependable employees, agreed to send for Engelbert. During the eight years Engelbert worked for United States Bakery, he repaid his uncle and also sent for his brother Joseph to join him at the bakery.
In 1906 the two brothers branched out and purchased a small bakery named the Ann Arbor Bakery. In less than two years, their bakery became quite successful and allowed them to strike a deal with their uncle to purchase United States Bakery. They kept United States Bakery as their corporate name and the bakery became known as Franz Bakery.
With Engelbert's leadership through 1954, Franz Bakery became the largest bakery in Portland, Oregon and one of the most modern bakeries in the country. After Engelbert's death in 1954, his son Joe Franz took over the company and grew Franz Bakery into the largest bakery in Oregon. In 1975 Joe realized he needed to find a successor and he hired Bob Albers as Vice President. Together they expanded the company to become one of the largest bakeries in the northwest. With Joe Franz's death in 1988, Bob Albers became President and CEO of Franz Bakery. Under Bob's leaders
