About Us
Fry’s Bakery is a small family run wood-fired sourdough bakery in the Vic West neighbourhood of Victoria, B.C. We use organic freshly stone-milled flours and only the best locally sourced ingredients to make our long-fermentation sourdough bread, pastries, and pizzas. We are a community-supported business, supplying handcrafted foods to our lovely neighbours and a select few shops and restaurants around the city.
History
Fry’s Bakery was started in Moosejaw, SK, in 1897 by Byron Fry’s great-great-grandfather, Charles Fry. In the 1920s, the Frys relocated to Vic West, where they opened their bakery at 403 Craigflower Rd. The shop was a community staple in Victoria until its closure during the Second World War.
In 2010, unaware of this family history, Byron built a wood-fired oven on a trailer and began baking bread for farmer’s markets. While looking for a business name, the original Fry’s logo and family photos were discovered. The historic connection came full circle in 2012 when Fry’s moved into the storefront at 416 Craigflower Rd, opening a shop across the street from its historic location.
