Richaud Valls Turned a Bread Habit Into a Bakery Business
"A neighborhood bar whose owner offered his oven when the baker was overwhelmed by orders, allowing him to bake in that space under a simple revenue-sharing arrangement (the baker gives the owner 20 percent). The borrowed oven isn’t a professional unit but doubled the baker’s previous output (about six baguettes at a time), making a practical, close-by solution that still preserves the fresh, oven-to-door ethos; the aroma even draws curious upstairs neighbors." - Melissa Malamut
