In this episode of Remembering the Block, Dr. Michelle S. Johnson sits down with Judy Sarkozy, founder of Sarkozy’s Bakery, to trace her path from a PhD in information theory to opening a Kalamazoo bakery during the Blizzard of 1977, started almost by accident, after a loaf of homemade French bread turned into a business idea. Sarkozy shares memories of the North Burdick Street block as it once was, and reflects on the philosophy of good work, fair wages, and a business rooted in its community that’s guided Sarkozy’s ever since.
