Pan-O-Gold Bakery Outlet

Ownership

Pan-O-Gold is an independent and family-owned baking company. While the president is from outside the Madison area (Wayzata resident), it is not Madison-resident owned, so scores 4 rather than 5.

Local Sourcing

Pan-O-Gold works with suppliers that source wheat, sugar and other products from farms using regenerative agricultural practices, but no specific information indicates exclusive or majority Wisconsin/regional sourcing. The company serves a broad 9-state territory, suggesting mixed sourcing.

Community Involvement

Pan-O-Gold is one of Second Harvest Heartland food bank's largest supporting sponsors, donating more than one million loaves of bread annually to organizations in need. This demonstrates significant community investment, though information about local Madison/Sun Prairie-specific sponsorships is limited.

Local Workforce

Pan-O-Gold Baking Co. has been cited for multiple workplace safety violations, and from 2020-2022, OSHA found Pan-O-Gold's injury rate was 160 percent higher than the industry average. Additionally, employees rate Pan-O-Gold 3.1 out of 5 stars on Glassdoor.

Revenue Retention

Pan-O-Gold is a Midwest leading wholesale bakery selling under brands Country Hearth, Village Hearth, and Artisan Hearth, with distribution across nine states. As a wholesale operation with regional/national reach, most revenue likely flows outside the local community.
