Bigger, brighter and better than ever!
BELOVED Shepparton institution, Higgins Bakery, has unveiled a fresh new look following an intensive eight-week renovation. The upgrades have modernised both the bakehouse and storefront while preserving the bakery’s rich heritage, with historic photos soon to be displayed as part of the final touches.
Owned by Mat and Sally Higgins, the bakery has been a family-run business for three generations. It was originally founded in 1947 by Mat’s grandparents, Ron and Edna Higgins. Over the decades, it has remained a cornerstone of the community, operating from its Wyndham Street location for the past 40 years.
Throughout the renovations, Mat and his team continued baking and delivering fresh bread, working around the construction schedule. He credited John Costa and his team at John Costa Engineering for making the process seamless. “He said it was like an episode of The Block,” Mat joked.
Higgins Bakery is best known for its artisan sourdough, crafted using a traditional German stone-baking method. The sourdough culture, started 18 years ago, remains at the heart of their breadmaking.
With a booming wholesale business and loyal customer base, Higgins Bakery continues to thrive, proving the quality craftsmanship and family tradition never go out in style.
Explore the new-look bakery and pick up some tasty treats or sourdough at Higgins Bakery, located at 121 Wyndham Street, Shepparton, and open 6.30am to 4pm on weekdays, 7.30am to 2pm on Saturdays and closed Sundays.
