Grebe’s Bakery, a wholesaler and retailer based in West Allice, Wisconsin, is planning a special celebration called Pardi Gras in mid-February.
Customers are invited to pre-order the Pardi Gras combo pack – six fresh paczki and four cans of limited-release Ope! Beer. The event will also feature games, prizes, and live music from Zydeco Cajun variety band Val Sigal & The ZydeCats.
On Feb. 21, Grebe’s Bakery will launch its heralded paczki promotion, including specials on nine creative flavors such as prune with glaze or apple with cinnamon and sugar.
Grebe's Bakery was born in Irene Grebe's home kitchen as a way to make ends meet when her husband, Walter, a musician, became partially paralyzed and could no longer perform with his band on their popular WTMJ radio show. Great Grandma Irene started baking and selling her delicious butterhorns to the local PTA, and thanks to overwhelming popularity, the family was able to open several retail bakery & deli outlets (at one time, as many as 16 total stores).
