La Brea Bakery is an industrial baking company started in Los Angeles, California. Since opening its flagship store on 624 S La Brea Avenue in 1989—six months earlier than Campanile, the restaurant it was built to serve—La Brea has opened two much larger bakeries in Van Nuys, California, and Swedesboro, New Jersey, to serve wholesale clients.[1] La Brea Bakery is one of the largest sellers of artisan bread in the US.[2] In 2001, La Brea was acquired by Aryzta AG.[3] In 2021, Aryzta sold its interest in La Brea Bakery and its other North American brands (Aryzta North America) to Lindsay Goldberg.[4] In May 2021, Aryzta North America was renamed to Aspire Bakeries.[5]
