Prairie City Bakery is a Vernon Hills, Illinois-based food and beverage manufacturer that supplies bakery products designed for thaw-and-sell formats. Serving convenience stores, foodservice operators, and drug stores nationwide, the company offers three turnkey programs—Foodservice, Wrapped Breakfast, and Wrapped Snacks—and provides merchandising assistance to help operators optimize their pastry programs. Founded in 1994, the company started with Muffin Tops and has since expanded to a portfolio of more than 70 products, including cookies, cinnamon rolls, Danish pastries, muffins, donuts, brownies, and butter cakes. It relies on a network of more than 450 distributors to reach roughly 20,000 locations across the United States, with Dot Foods distributing the full line to foodservice and c-store customers and offering low minimums; some products are also available internationally. A notable recent development is the appointment of Janine Borel as Vice President of Sales, effective May 1, 2025.
