For the past 45+ years, Fox’s Bakery & Deli has been the city's go-to spot for baked goods. Their story is a testament to dedication, family values and a commitment to crafting delicious fresh food ...
A Barrie Staple
Ross and Erma Fox paved the way for their sons Steve and Craig to continue scratch baking in Barrie.
Fox’s tale began on February 8, 1978 when Ross and Erma began the Buns Master Bakery franchise in Barrie. It was the third franchise location in Canada and the second in Ontario.
The shop quickly became a success story. "We consistently ranked among the best-producing bakeries in the chain, seeing tremendous growth back in the 80s," said Steve Fox. But it wasn't just about following a recipe; it was about creating a place where people connected over delicious treats.
New Roots
In December of 1999, Steve purchased the bakery. Then, in 2007, he broke away from the Buns Master franchise and began Fox’s Bakery & Delicatessen. This move allowed them complete creative freedom to develop their own unique offerings.
Today, the location employs 32 staff and bakes 99 percent of what they sell in-house.
"Nothing pre-made, or out-of-a-box here," says Craig. "We are one of the few scratch bakeries around." This dedication to quality is evident in every loaf of bread, every flaky croissant, and every decadent dessert.
Fox's Bakery & Deli is more than just a place to buy treats. It's a place that carries on a tradition of excellence, a commitment to fresh, high-quality ingredients, and a love for baking that's been passed down through generations.
It's a place where Barrie residents can gather, savor a delicious pastry, and create new memories.
