Founded in 1978 by Peter Paraskakis[4] as "Baker's Dozen Donut Corporation". It is based in Mississauga, Ontario.
The chain operates over 100 stores, mostly in the Toronto, Ontario area. Expansion came in the late 1980s, but it remains a small scale operation. Stores are chain-owned or franchised.
The store has two slogans:
- Not Just Donuts...
- You Always Get More In A Baker's Dozen!'
[edit] Signage
The original sign featured a European-looking baker with a mustache holding a tray of a dozen doughnuts in one hand, and the thirteenth or "Baker's Dozen" doughnut in the other hand.
