5 Generation Bakers

About the offering

5 Generation Bakers, based in McKees Rocks, PA, is a family-owned bakery with over 30 years in business that is currently celebrating its 150th anniversary. The company is best known for its Jenny Lee Swirl Bread, which has been sold across the U.S. for more than 16 years. A partnership with QVC has been a major growth driver, propelling revenue to over $6 million in 2024, with nearly $9 million projected for 2025 through new food service product development. The company has achieved 357% revenue growth since 2020 and has appeared on Inc. Magazine's 'Inc. 5000' list of fastest-growing private companies in America for multiple consecutive years, including 2024 and 2025. It has also been recognized by the Pittsburgh Business Times as one of the fastest-growing private companies in Pittsburgh for four consecutive years, returning to that list in 2024 and 2025. In 2017, Food Quality and Safety Magazine named 5 Generation Bakers the winner of its 16th annual Food Quality & Safety Award in the small business category, and Jenny Lee Swirl Bread received QVC's Customer Choice Award for three consecutive years. The company is now expanding into new product categories including ready-to-eat sandwiches, French toast, school breakfast programs, cookies, bars, cakes, and whoopie pies (locally known as 'Gobs' in Western Pennsylvania). This is the company's fourth Honeycomb crowdfunding campaign (labeled #4). Funds raised in this campaign — with a minimum goal of $100,000 and a maximum of $618,000 — will be used primarily to purchase additional signature crimp pans (57.97%), jacketed icing melter equipment (22.56%), production department improvements (19.32%), and a small allocation for working capital (0.14%). The offering is structured as a debt investment with a 60-month loan term and a 9% interest rate, offered under Regulation CF.
