Bradfords is a well-known company that sells delicious cakes and gift hampers online. It started a long time ago as a chain of bakeries. These bakeries were located all around the Greater Glasgow area in Scotland.
The main bakery and its office were in a place called Thornliebank. Bradfords used to have 15 shops where people could buy their treats. They even owned some famous tearooms called Miss Cranston's.
Bradfords: From Bakeries to Online
Bradfords was founded in 1924. For many years, they made traditional baked goods by hand. They also created special items like chocolates, Danish pastries, biscuits, jams, and chutneys.
In 2003, the part of the business with the physical shops closed down. This is called "liquidation," which means the company had to sell its assets to pay its debts.
However, the Bradfords family did not give up! They started the business again, but this time as an online store. It is now known as "Bradfords Bakers & Gifts Ltd". This means you can order their yummy products from anywhere with an internet connection.
What Bradfords Sells Today
Today, Bradfords focuses on selling its products online. You can find a wide range of items on their website. They offer many kinds of cakes, perfect for birthdays or special events.
They also sell gift hampers. These are baskets filled with different goodies. Hampers can include chocolates, biscuits, and other tasty treats. It is a great way to send a gift to someone special.
