Leading a Multi-Concept Hospitality Company

We are excited to serve you, Saratoga Springs! We signed our lease and began the planning process over 26 months ago. At times I loathed the wait, but am now realizing that all of the wait was worth it. It provided time to complete Lehi Bakery Main Street construction, plan our operations strategy, and (most importantly) develop our people to set the store up for success. I couldn’t be more proud of our team from top to bottom who all contributed insights, training, and the much needed willingness to do anything and everything outside their formal job descriptions. There dreaded words “that’s not my job” have never been uttered. Our team always does whatever it takes. The proudest part of today is that I get to call my friend, Jeff, the leader and manager of the store. He is a Saratoga Springs resident, and has developed from an entry-level donut fryer into a store manager. The people development process is the reason why this career is starting to feel more and more like a calling. If today’s opening wasn’t enough reason to celebrate and reflect, it is worth mentioning that we also received unanimous final city council approval from Cedar Hills last night for what will become Lehi Bakery #3 this fall. We are excited to watch that construction process, and develop a new group of leaders. With all of the reasons to celebrate, and with life sometimes feeling like it is going 100 miles per hour, I will be taking some time off to dedicate to my family, with limited work requirements. The “dark side” of being an entrepreneur has at times (inexcusably) caused my focus to drift. I struggle with being able to consistently balance work and family life, and sometimes a little detox is in order to recover, recalibrate, and refocus. So, cheers to Saratoga Springs, Cedar Hills, Jeff, and some much needed family time! 🎉 🎉 🎉 #smallbusiness #grandopening #saratogasprings #bakery

I am soooo excited for Cedar Hills. My wife, a Lehi native, introduced me to Lehi Bakery 19 years ago. Nothing can touch the quality of Lehi Bakery. Where will it be located?

This is the best news of 2024. I’m convinced that if we took these donuts to the front lines of every war across the globe that we would have world peace within minutes. Legend has it these donuts were responsible for peacefully reuiniting East and West Berlin.

So I stopped by because of your posts. I got the square doughnuts and the fritters and some other stuff. Basically the recommendations of the workers. I parked along the road and when I tried to get back on it was taking forever. So I gave up and sat there and ate a half of the box. It was good stuff. My family liked it too.
