According to Nutana Bakery’s website, Ferdinand Fobel first opened the bakery in 1951 alongside his wife, after purchasing the property in 1950.

In 2007, Sia and Sal Avwally acquired the bakery, running the business for 16 years with their children and family.

The ownership of Nutana Bakery then transitioned to Sima Arnold, the eldest daughter of Sia and Sal, and her husband Blaine in 2023.

In April of 2020, the bakery announced on it’s Facebook page it would be closing it’s doors due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and many in Saskatoon were concerned that the business wouldn’t survive.

The doors reopened in September, 2020 and the business has remained open since.

An employee at the bakery had no comment on the sale when contacted by 650 CKOM.
