It didn't take long for a Wisconsin bakery to add jobs after it acquired late last year by Lancaster Colony Corp.
Angelic Bakehouse is lining up approvals to double the size of its Cudahy, Wisconsin, office and bakery and create up to 50 new jobs, our sister paper in Milwaukee reports.
A $10 million investment will double size of the facility to 42,768 square feet. Up to 50 new jobs are expected in addition to the 50 already there.
The company makes sprouted grain bread, rolls, buns and snacks.
At the time of the acquisition, Dave Ciesinski, Lancaster Colony's president and COO, said “Angelic is a highly relevant, on-trend business that produces a variety of great tasting, nutritious, non-GMO bakery items featuring its proprietary sprouted mash ingredient crafted with an assortment of unique sprouted grains."

The company also purchased a flatbread company in 2015.
