Shamrock Bakery Leased; New Owners
Will Resume Anchorage Truck Service
The Shamrock Bakery was
leased to Mr. and Mrs. Nels Stens
land, formerly of Fairbanks,
Petersburg and Anchorage, in
early May, Matt Perkins an
nounced this week. The Stens
lands, veterans of many years’
baking experience, plan extension
of the business to Anchorage. Be
ginning next Monday, they will
start a twice daily truck run to
that city with breads and pastries.
Mr. Perkins said he did not ex
pect to leave the Valley. His plans
for the future still are not defi
nite, but he expects to continue
to work at the bakery for the
next several months.
Mr. and Mrs. Stensland come to
Palmer from Fairbanks, where
they owned the Golden Heart
Bakery for three years. Prior to
that time, they owned the North
Pole Bakery in Anchorage for
five years, and for two years op
erated a cannery in Petersburg.
They will retain the present
name of the Shamrock. They
plan .however, to greatly augment
the lines of baked goods produced
there. Danish pastries of all types
and every variety of bread al
ready have been added to their
products. Later they expect to
produce cream puffs and other
hard-to-get bakery delicacies.
The present staff of two bakers
will be doubled, Mrs. Stensland
said. Clyde Butcher and Dale
Rathgeb will be assisted by Ever
ett Wheeler and Alan Sanders.
To make room for the increased
business, another building is be
ing constructed behind the pres
ent Shamrock Bakery plant. A
new oven is to be installed there,
and some of the present equip
ment will be transferred from
the main plant into the new quar
ters.
Some price reductions have
been put into effect since the
lease agreement was signed late
last week, Mrs. Stensland said.
Further announcement of reduc
tions is expected within the next
week or two, she added.
