Wooden Bakery Lebanese Bread

Wooden Bakery is a well-known bakery chain and brand that originated in Lebanon. Founded in 1969 by Edward Bou Habib, the brand initially began as a simple family bakery in Jal El Dib and eventually evolved into a massive franchise and industrial leader in the Middle East. It is highly recognized for its Lebanese flatbread, pastries, and French bread varieties.

While the brand's heart and original manufacturing base remain in Lebanon, its expansion into the Gulf region, particularly Saudi Arabia and the UAE, has led to regional manufacturing. In these markets, the bread is often produced locally in large industrial bakery facilities to ensure freshness and meet the high demand of local supermarkets and grocery chains.

The brand is currently managed and owned by the Bou Habib family under the Wooden Bakery corporate umbrella. Throughout its history, it transformed from a retail-only shop into a hybrid model involving central industrial bakeries and franchised retail outlets across several countries in the MENA region.
