History:

First Generation

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.

Second Generation

Ted and Dolores Czerniak began running the family business in a Polish and Slovak neighborhood in 1948. They were a pillar in the community they served throughout the fifties and into the sixties. Operating under the vision of Ted's parents, they continued to serve the favorites of the public.

Third Generation

Roger and Robert Czerniak opened Central Continental Bakery in Mt. Prospect, Il. in 1979 at 22 N. Main St. As business increased the bakery moved to a larger building in 1984 and is still located today at 101 S. Main St. in Mt. Prospect. Further expansion took place in 1994 when the business opened up a wholesale bakery division in Elk Grove Village, Il. The wholesale division delivers fresh baked goods daily to Chicagoland corporations, retail outlets, food service industries, and health care facilities.


Fourth Generation

A fourth generation of Czerniaks is currently involved in bakery production and retail sales. Along with their staff of professionals they continue to use the family's original time honored recipes from over 3/4 of century ago. The Czerniak Family invites you to sample their goods at our retail location at 101 S. Main Street, Mt. Prospect, Il.
