Deliciously fresh.
From our bakery to store shelves
Many people have tried to duplicate the taste, flavor, and texture of Martin’s Famous Potato Rolls and Bread. We’ve even had people say that if they had time to bake bread, they would want it to taste like Martin’s! We bake our award-winning rolls and bread, transport them quickly to the store, and only leave them on store shelves for 3-4 days, which is a significantly shorter amount of time than our competitors. We work hard to make sure that you get the freshest, tastiest product possible!
Highest quality.
From ingredients to taste
We use high protein wheat flour (and for our whole wheat products we use 100% stone-ground whole wheat), nonfat milk, potatoes, real cane sugar, yeast, sunflower oil, and butter in our bakery products. Other bakeries may “cut corners” and use cheaper ingredients, but we believe using high quality ingredients is absolutely necessary and we wouldn’t do it any other way.

Community focus.
Beyond our bakery
Martin’s exceptional customer service goes beyond our corporate and bakery walls. To us, giving back to our surrounding community through service projects, product donations, and contributions to nonprofit organizations is part of who we are. Even in the early days of Lloyd and Lois Martin, resources were used to help make our world a better place. That legacy continues today as Martin’s donates a portion of earnings to select charities each year.
