ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — The Atlantic Bakery Expo, set this year for March 21-23 at the Atlantic City Convention Center, features an agenda that will be of interest to supermarket bakery representatives, expo Chairman Kenneth G. Downey Sr. told SN last week.
Downey, who is director of bakery sales and merchandising at Parsippany, N.J.-based Kings Super Markets and Balducci's Markets, is the first supermarket industry bakery representative ever to serve as chairman of the Atlantic Bakery Expo.
