An American Success Story
|
|
|
It all began as a simple idea and a humble building on Prospect Hill in West
Warwick, Rhode Island. My father Louis Cicerone, had just returned home after
serving his country in World War Two. While in recovery, he studied airplane
mechanics with the hopes of being employed at Quonset Point Naval Base. Despite
being part of America's "Greatest Generation" jobs were scarce.
So after marrying my mother, Carmela Santilli, and with a baby on the way, my
father went to work for a local foundry. My uncle, Nicandro Cicerone, had been
employed at various bakeries in the Federal Hill area of Providence. He had acquired
knowledge and hands on experience about various baking techniques as he moved from
bakery to bakery.
The idea for Superior Bakery was conceived as a result of a conversation between my
father and another uncle. My father wanted to leave the foundry |
 |
|
|
and my Uncle Ernest
told him he should open a bakery in West Warwick since there were none in the area
at that time. So Uncle Nicandro and my father located a small vacant bakery on
Prospect Hill and Superior Bakery was born.

With my Uncle Nicandro providing the
baking expertise to produce quality rolls and bakery pizza, my father went door to
door acquiring customers. Once the orders were secured, my father delivered the
products right to the customer's door every morning. Within 9 years, (1948 - 1957)
the demand for new products and new customers, resulted in the purchase of land and
the construction of anew and much larger facility on Oaklawn Avenue in Cranston,
Rhode Island.
During this period, I began my training in all aspects of the Bakery operations
under my father's and uncle's guidance. With my father's approval, I added
additional products that were more specific to my individual customer's needs. My
sons continue this practice today. The goal is to provide our customers with the
best and freshest bakery products possible is our family's legacy. It is printed on
every bag that leaves our building - "to provide the freshest quality possible". Our
customers are our best friends and it is our duty to provide them from the deli
owner, the small business, the restaurant, and to the parents, a "SUPERIOR"
quality item.
