Are you a student or young person who regularly shops at Thomas the Baker? Whether you’re just grabbing your lunch during the day at college, stocking up on loaves for the week, or simply treating yourself to something sweet, our 5% discount is available to all children from 5 and upwards as well as students on production of a valid NUS or student card. The discount is available in all Thomas the Baker stores (find your nearest one here now) starting next week.

We’ve got an exciting competition going on in our stores at the moment, giving our customers a chance to win one of hundreds of gingerbread persons that we’re giving away every single day as well as the grand prize, the brand new Kindle Fire HD 6! Unfortunately the giveaway isn’t open to our online customers, but all you need to do is visit any Thomas the Baker store (find your nearest one here) and purchase a pack of Halloween Novelty Biscuits, both the Spooky Bats and the Ghosts.

About a month ago, we mentioned that our Market Street shop in York would be having an Open Day to allow customers to get to know the team at the shop a bit more, to take part in a few competitions, to sample a few goodies, see our new product ranges and meet Gingy the Gingerbread Man. The Open Day took place on the 30th May and we had a fantastic time. Andy Bartlett and Steve Cockayne came down to York for the day, and they as well as the team at the Market Street shop met plenty of our customers and got to chat to them. As you can see above, Andy was handing out several samples including biscuits to those that came out for the day and balloons for our younger customers. He introduced a few of our most popular products, including the old favourites, as well as the latest range of ready meals, jams and preserves, puddings and frozen…
