Bakery Humanity acquired Les Aliments 2000 from owners Denis Giroux, Sébastien Giroux, and Conrad Boivin. Les Aliments 2000 joins Maison Isabelle and Boulangerie-Pâtisserie Dumas, a business bought by Champlain in June 2020, as a Bakery Humanity portfolio company.
A group of investors led by Canada-based private-equity firm Champlain Financial Corp. set up Bakery Humanity earlier this year after buying local bakery business Maison Isabelle.
Dominique Bohec, who has been president of Maison Isabelle since 2015 and leads the Bakery Humanity platform, will additionally become president and CEO of Les Aliments 2000.
