Tom Molnar, co-founder of Gail’s: ”Every time we open a shop, I still have that fear: what if no-one shows up?”
Manage episode 320724402 series 2362137
Tom Molnar is the co-founder and CEO of Gail's — and thus, indirectly, the man behind the finest cheese and ham croissant in the history of the world. In a start up culture that values innovation and disruption at almost any cost, it is heartening to learn about the incredible success of Gail's — a bakery that has always made the quality and taste of its food the number one priority, from first shop to 79th. In a brilliant episode, Tom tells us why he almost pursued a career in fish instead of bread; how the company’s 30-year-old sourdough starter is it’s most sacred and protected IP; and reveals — for the first time and in perhaps the biggest scoop in Gentleman’s Journal history — his five all time favourite items on the Gail’s menu.
