Some might say that having Franz, a Portland institution, as a new Champion level sponsor is the best things since sliced bread. Some might also say that a pun that obvious is lazy writing. Well, you’re right on both accounts!

Franz Bakery is a fourth generation, family-owned baking company based out of Portland.  Since 1906 they have been supplying the community with bread, buns, bagels, cookies and pastries, made from the highest quality ingredients.  Today, Franz operates ten bakeries and delivers their baked goods all over the United States.

If you were lucky enough to ride the long route on WEEKENDER, you may recognize them as the fine folks who served up gooey treats from their mobile grilled cheese making truck.

Welcome Franz! We’re happy to have you on board!
