Turano Baking Company’s Renato “Ron” Turano.
Mariano Turano arrived to the United States from Calabria, Italy, with the purpose of creating a better life for his family. Mr. Turano bought a small bake shop on the Chicago westside, where he focused and hone his craft on creating the same old-fashioned Italian Round Bread he baked in Italy. Soon enough, Turano’s bake shop won over the people in the surrounding area and neighborhood. With the success and popularity of the bake shop motivated Marrano’s brothers, Eugenio and Carmen, to partner up and establish Turano Bakery in Berwyn, Il. The sheer talent for their bread baking skills would soon make them a darling amongst other Italian bakeries in the Chicagoland area.

The partnership of the family inspired them to introduce new items such as the French and Vienna bread lineup. Turano’s baked goods and Italian bread goods made their way into restaurants and grocery stores in Chicago. The family partnership was vital in developing the business, manufacturing baking lines, and discovering new customer relationships. The Turano Baking Company would later on go on to expand to five other state-of-the-art baking facilities in Berwyn Il, Bolingbrook Il, Orlando Fl, Villa Rica GA, and Henderson NV. Throughout the decades, the Turano Family Foundation has made contributions to the Greater Chicago Food Depository, research development for juvenile diabetes, and to countless other charities that provide aid to the inner city. If your ever in the Berwyn neighborhood, make sure to stop by the Turano bakery shop. If the air starts to smell sweet and delicious, you’re almost there.
