/Central Continental Bakery

Teofil and Marie Czerniak arrived from Poland in the early 1900's in pursuit of the American Dream. They opened their first bakery in 1922 on Chicago's south side at 51st and Hermitage. The bakery moved to the 51st and Morgan area in 1927. The business survived the Great Depression and was relocated to the North Side in 1935 on Cortez near Kostner.
