New Service for Freshly Baked Bread at Self Shop Bell
The aroma of freshly baked bread is making its way into our daily lives, thanks to a new initiative by
Panfanforu Co., Ltd. (Headquartered in Kiryu, Gunma) at select locations of
Self Shop Bell, a branch of
Maruberu Co., Ltd. (Headquartered in Sumida, Tokyo). This innovative sales style involves serving freshly baked bread from local partner bakeries across Japan, which are delivered frozen and then re-baked on-site to provide a warm, inviting experience.
Unique Features and Benefits
Enjoy Freshly Baked Goodness
Visitors to these locations will be treated to the nostalgic and fragrant aroma of baking bread. The in-store ovens ensure each loaf retains its original flavor and texture, delivering the highest quality bread experience.

Easy System for Small Spaces
Thanks to the frozen delivery and local re-baking system, bakeries can operate this service with minimal space and operational requirements, making it accessible for various facilities.
A Daily Delight
At select Self Shop Bell locations, customers can now indulge in a delightful moment during their lunch breaks or coffee pauses, surrounded by the comforting scent of freshly baked bread. This initiative aims to bring a bit of joy and conversation to daily routines by offering high-quality bread from local establishments right where consumers shop.
Background of the Initiative
Due to a decrease in store utilization and changing consumer needs, facilities have been seeking new ways to provide added value. The decision to adopt a new style of fresh bread service by leveraging
Panfanforu Biz frozen bread options reflects this shift. According to a spokesperson for the initiative:
“Our facility already provides freshly brewed coffee, indicating a clear demand for bread. Amidst a trend of declining store usage, we saw an opportunity to introduce warm bread by utilizing frozen options.”
