Kitchens of Sara Lee
Encyclopedia
In 1935, Charles Lubin, then in his 30s, and his brother-in-law, bought a small chain of Chicago
neighborhood bakeries called Community Bake Shops. Working together, the businessmen grew their original three stores into a chain of seven bakeries.
Lubin was an entrepreneur who wanted to expand the business. He named a cream cheesecake after his eight-year-old daughter, Sara Lee Lubin (later Sara Lee Schupf), and changed the name of the business to Kitchens of Sara Lee.
In 1956 the Consolidated Foods Corporation bought Kitchens of Sara Lee, and it became one of the company's best-known brand names. In 1985 the name Sara Lee Corporation was adopted for the corporation as a whole.
