\"Grey<\/a><\/p>\n

Grey Matlock Bakery built its family business around a familiar taste for African and Caribbean customers: traditional Agege bread. Its Brampton connection now reaches beyond the loaves themselves, through a Kennedy Road South head office and a partnership with the City\u2019s shared commercial kitchen.<\/p>\n

The bakery says it was established in 2018 to offer customers in Ontario a taste of home. Its company website<\/a> identifies Agege bread with Lagos and also advertises butter sweet bread. The business lists its Brampton address as 168 Kennedy Road South, Unit 7.<\/p>\n

The family behind Grey Matlock Bakery<\/p>\n

Founder Adewale Oladapo Rabiu, known as Wale Rabiu, arrived in Canada in 2016, according to the biography published by his company, Rubic Consulting<\/a>. That account dates the bakery\u2019s incorporation and start of operations to 2018, with production beginning in March.<\/p>\n

Rabiu\u2019s background spans more than baking. His biography describes work in banking and telecommunications in Nigeria before his move to Canada, followed by work at Rogers Communications in Brampton. It also describes earlier poultry farming and diesel distribution businesses in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

Those details place the bakery within a longer entrepreneurial career. The company\u2019s own account emphasises a specific customer need: access to familiar bread and cakes for African and Caribbean communities in Ontario.<\/p>\n

A Brampton base and a wider business<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s locations page<\/a> identifies Brampton as its head office and separately lists a factory at 3075 Ridgeway Drive, Unit 25, in Mississauga. It also lists franchise locations in several Canadian cities.<\/p>\n

For Brampton readers, Kennedy Road South is the local address to keep in mind when contacting the business. Customers seeking a particular product or planning a visit should confirm availability and arrangements directly with the bakery.<\/p>\n

A role in supporting other food businesses<\/p>\n

In a March 25 announcement<\/a>, the City named Grey Matlock Bakery as its operating partner for the Brampton Commercial Kitchen. The City said it selected the company through a competitive request for proposals process.<\/p>\n

The announced responsibilities included trained staff, an online booking system and day-to-day management. The City identified Rabiu as the bakery\u2019s owner and the kitchen\u2019s operator.<\/p>\n

The municipal facility at the Brampton Entrepreneur Centre, 41 George Street South, was designed for food start-ups, caterers and home-based businesses seeking room to grow. The announcement described more than 1,200 square feet, up to two individual kitchen spaces, commercial equipment and a packaging and labelling station.<\/p>\n

That partnership adds a second dimension to the bakery\u2019s local story: alongside selling its own food, the company was chosen to help manage space for other food entrepreneurs.
