Celebrating A Bakery Empire! Our story began in Europe (Chrzanow, Poland) around 1825 with the first bakery opening. Sadly, the family was sent to concentration camps in 1941 where they had to practice extreme courage and bravery until their freedom from the SS officers on May 8, 1945. The three brothers (Sigmund, Sol, and Max Jucker) along with their sister immigrated to Houston, Texas where they opened a bakery on […]
Blossom by Blossom, Spring has Sprung! The first day of spring is known as the vernal equinox. It gets its name from the verb “spring”. It’s a nod to the flowers and plants springing up, opening, and bursting into bloom. Spring is a time of rebirth for nature. Lush greenery, blooming flowers, and baby animals can be seen all around! The days are getting longer, allowing you to spend more […]
A motivated individual can accomplish a lot over lunch, yet it wouldn’t surpass what seven gentlemen accomplished at the Texas State Hotel over an afternoon lunch. It was historical! The conversation that took place centered on the protection of the cattle industry along the Texas Gulf Coast. Alas! The idea of a Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo was born! Did you know? There’s approximately 600 sanctioned rodeos annually with over […]
What comes to mind when you hear the reference “pi/pie”? Could it be the mathematical constant known as 3.14159265358979…?

We, Bobby and Janice Jucker, co-owners of Three Brothers Bakery, have fought back after every disaster to befall our family owned bakery. We come from a history of survivorship – beginning with the founders’ liberation during the Holocaust. As many know, Hurricane Harvey brought four days of rain and over fifty inches of rainfall. It was a life changing storm. Harvey was our 4th flood, plus we survived and rebuilt […]
This week, we’re putting 2017 in the past and looking forward to a great 2018 at Three Brothers Bakery. I think it’s always helpful to set resolutions and stick to them – I’m glad that this year I can resolve to keep weight off rather than to lose it in the first place! Last year on the blog, I said I wanted to continue to grow the coffee program, and […]
As 2017 comes to a close, there are many memories and awards to be thankful for and those some of us wish to keep in the past. For our team at Three Brothers Bakery, we have been through our fair share of disasters and August 2017 had other plans for our bakeries when Hurricane Harvey hit Houston hard.

(If you want extra brownie points, Teacher Appreciation Day is Tuesday, May 2.) A teacher who meant a lot to […]

Our growth happened because of Hurricane Ike – talk about making lemonade out of lemons. It was a line in the sand that Three Brothers Bakery had survived the storm and was moving on to a new chapter. While rebuilding, […]
