Introduction
BreadTalk Pte Ltd is a private limited company incorporated in April 2000 founded by Dr. George Quek, Chairman and Katherine Lee, Deputy Chairman.

BreadTalk located its first retail outlet at Parco Bugis Junction in July 2000.

Subsequently, they have been expanding rapidly island-wide.
Within 10 years, BreadTalk Pte Ltd has firmly established its brand name and expanded to countries such as China, Hong Kong and Asia. Despite consistent revenues contributed from their overseas ventures, Singapore is still their main focus for their business function.

BreadTalk’s main competitors are Barcook Bakery, Four Leaves, My Bread, Prima Deli and Delifrance.
