Love's Bakery Hawaii Revenue and Competitors

Our story began in June 1851 when a baker from Scotland by the name of Robert Love, made his journey from Sydney, Australia to Honolulu, Hawaii. Robert along with his wife Margaret and three sons Robert, Jr., 15; James, 10; and William, 8, arrived in Honolulu on June 19, 1851 after making the 80-day voyage on an American ship named “Adirondack”. On July 12, 1851, Robert obtained a retail store license permitting him to operate a bakery and sell its products. Robert opened the first Love’s Biscuit & Bread Co. on Nu‘uanu Street in 1853. Robert Love specialized in “re-baking” bread from sailing ships that had become inedible, as well as by selling hard biscuits, called hardtack. During 1924 Robert expanded his business and opened a second location in the Iwilei district. While the Nu‘uanu site continued to produce all types of baked goods, the new Iwilei plant produced only bread and rolls. Today, Love’s Bakery continues Robert Love’s tradition by baking fresh products for all of Hawaii. Love’s produces 206 varieties of bread, 70 varieties of buns and rolls, and 14 varieties of cakes. Now with a greatly expanded product line, there are more varieties of freshly baked bread, buns and cakes on the shelves and restaurants. Our fresh-baked products are shipped by air to Maui, Kauai, Molokai and the Big Island. We also deliver to grocery stores, military bases, restaurants, schools, and hospitals across the state. Love’s Bakery is a locally owned company that consists of 300 employees. All dedicated to producing the highest quality products and service throughout.
