Kitchens of Sara Lee
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1935, Charles Lubin, then age 35, and his brother-in-law bought a small chain of Chicago neighborhood bakeries called Community Bake Shops. Working together, the businessmen grew their original three stores into a chain of seven bakeries.
Lubin was an entrepreneur who dreamt far beyond the modest doorsteps to the bakeries. He began creating new products with a new name. The first one was a cream cheesecake that he named after his eight-year-old daughter, Sara Lee Lubin (now Sara Lee Schupf). He changed the name of his business to Kitchens of Sara Lee.
In 1956 the Consolidated Foods Corporation bought Kitchens of Sara Lee and it became one of the company's best-known brand names. In 1985 the name Sara Lee Corporation was adopted for the corporation as a whole.
