FORT WAYNE, Ind. (Feb. 08, 2024) - Aunt Millie’s Bakeries is pleased to announce the relocation of its corporate headquarters to the former Star Bank headquarters building located at 6230 Bluffton Road by the end of April 2024.
“It is a little bittersweet in that we’ve been at 350 Pearl Street since I was 8 years old, but Aunt Millie’s is not a building—it’s our people that make our company,” President and CEO John F. Popp said.
The new building will better fit the needs of Aunt Millie’s as it continues to grow.
“The building is 47,000 square feet, almost twice our current office space, and will allow us to build a state-of-the-art innovation lab that is three times the size of our current R&D lab,” Executive Vice President Bohn Popp said.
“Of course, many people ask about the Sunbeam billboard on the building,” John F. Popp said. “Aunt Millie’s has retained ownership of the sign, and Surak Real Estate has graciously agreed to let it remain on the current building for a period of time. At some point, if they decide it no longer fits their plans,we will gladly remove it and relocate it to a place that is permitted by the city and zoning officials.”
