The business

L.A. Bakery runs a bakery and cafe in Carson City. It expanded using an SBA 504 small business loan.

Ovens, and the room they sit in

A bakery’s capacity is set by its ovens, and ovens are fixed to the building they are installed in. Expanding one means expanding the other, which is exactly the kind of project the 504 program is built to finance.

“Since we opened the door, people just rush in and everybody is happy — “oh my god, so much bigger place.” When they get good quality food they smile, and that’s all that matters to me.”
