It's with great pleasure and excitement we share news of the first expansion for Chartier Restaurant and Bakery in Nisku's newly renovated Business and Entrepreneur Centre (BEC), which will be officially announced later this morning at the 2023 Leduc County Business Summit.

In 2022, Leduc County was awarded more than $1 million in federal funding from PrairiesCan to redevelop the decommissioned Nisku Recreation Centre into the BEC, a project aimed to nurture the growth of start-ups and small-to-medium sized enterprises.

Maintaining a restaurant’s bread program in-house is no small endeavour. At Beaumont, Alta.-based Chartier, chef Steve Brochu and his team produce a selection of breads and pastries for both the restaurant and its bread window, which offers fresh-made delicacies Wednesday through Sunday.

“I’ve come in at the top and I’ve come in at the bottom — it’s an adrenaline rush no matter what,” said Chartier baker Jesse Woodland with a determined look in his eye while discussing his win at the Canadian Food Championships last month. This fall, the esteemed baker will compete in the World Food Championships in Orange Beach, Alabama.
