Rise Up #40: The Return of Peter Claybaker

Jan 16, 2019

Episode #37 of Rise Up! ended with Peter Claybaker, owner of Marquette Baking Company, dealing with downsizing his bakery and eliminating his retail service. Since then there have been some major changes in Marquette and Peter is in a much better place.

In this episode, Peter shares his news and tells the story of how brittle the business model of small bakeries can become. But it's also a story of the enduring attraction of the local bakery and how help can come unexpectedly.
