Charles Entenmann, who helped bring baked goods to supermarkets, dies at 92
Charles Edward “Charlie” Entenmann, who helped expand his family’s Long Island, New York, bakery from a local delivery service to a household name, died last month. He was 92.
An obituary said Entenmann died “peacefully” on Feb. 24 in Florida, where he lived, surrounded by his surviving children.
Entenmann’s, now a supermarket staple, was opened by Charlie Entenmann’s grandfather, William, in Brooklyn in 1898, according to the company website.
William, an immigrant from Germany, would deliver his baked goods to homes in a horse-drawn wagon.
The family, in 1900, moved the bakery to Bay Shore, Long Island, after William’s son got sick and needed medical care there. The bakery kept the same delivery format, and was enjoyed by families like the Morgans and Vanderbilts.

Re: RIP Charles Entenmann
Their bakery items taste so good. I haven't had one in forever, but I can't deny I'm occasionally tempted.
BITD, they were a staple on car camping trips.
