Since the passage of the CARES Act in March, I have been working to include SBA Disaster loans prior to 2020 be given the same debt forgiveness afforded small businesses with SBA guaranteed 504 and 7a loans through the CARES Act. While I may have been the one to bring it to light, it takes a village to shine a light on it. The National Restaurant Association, Texas Restaurant Association, […]

Yesterday we were blessed to have ABC13 air a story about what small business owners can do now and try our hardest to survive. https://abc13.com/6054230 The story illustrates how if everyone makes one purchase of a pecan pie how many are going to stay employed. We chose that product because it ships the best and has a long shelf life. To make a difference large total quantities need to be […]
Family is at the heart of everything we do. After 70 years of business, developing a close team atmosphere is what has driven so much of our success. Without our skilled bakers, our talented decorators, our helpful counter staff, and our amazing managers and office staff, we doubt we’d be half as successful as we are! Every year, we take a special time out of our busy schedule of baking, […]

A Heartfelt Thank You From Bobby and Janice Thank you all for your outpouring of support regarding the loss of Three Brothers Bakery’s Kosher certification after 70 years in Houston. For the first time in almost 200 years of baking, our family’s baked goods are not Kosher, but they are still made with the same love and care. The decision to remain open to retail business during Passover (the HKA […]
It’s June, which means summer – and summertime means traveling! We will be here all summer baking, of course, but we have a friend of ours who wants to go on vacation with you. Our trusty Gingerbread Man is ready to be in your carry-on, on your road trip, on your boat – or wherever your travels take you. He is so ready, in fact, that we have launched a […]
As stewards of the Jucker brother legacy of Three Brothers Bakery, we experience many moments of fun and joy. There are the obvious moments, such as being a part of great memories with our valued customers, or watching our team grow both personally and professionally – our bakery family welcomed 4 babies in 2015. A less obviously seen joy comes from the opportunity to represent the bakery at conferences around […]
As a business that has survived Tropical Storm Allison, the devastation of Hurricane Ike and the recent May floods, giving back to others is at the core of our business. In fact, being able to survive these disasters has enabled us to thrive and grow, right alongside our community. So it is only natural that at this 10 year anniversary of Katrina, we think about our “sister city, ” New […]
