Rhodes of Thorne comprises two bakery deli and sandwich shops located in Doncaster. Both shops are located in popular high street locations and enjoy regular and passing trade.

Having been established for over 60 years, the business now under new ownership is very well known in the local area and has adapted from being just a bakery to offering hot and cold sandwiches and other sweet and savoury products.

The new owner is Zobeena Amin who was previously a teacher.

Miss Amin’s plans for Rhodes of Thorne include developing additional markets and introducing new sweet and savoury products ranges. She also intends to grow the wholesale side of the bakery business, improve ingredient buying power using existing suppliers, introduce a range of occasion cakes and opening additional stores in the right location.
