Jeanette Rohleder, owner, purchased the Alma Bakery in 2001. She learned her baking skills from her grandmother, Leona Rohleder, growing up in the Hays, Kansas area. Jeanette started baking cakes for people in college she graduated from Kansas State University with a degree in Accounting.
The Bakery was originally located at 309 Missouri Street in a historical limestone building on the main street in Alma, Kansas. After eight years of delicious baking at the Bakery, Jeanette's business outgrew the limestone building and she purchased the current location at 118 W. 3rd Street in Alma where she more than doubled the space creating a perfect baking atmosphere.
The Alma Bakery is a family business, and with the help of her five children Jeanette has grown a baking empire customers come from coast to coast - even from Europe!
