History

It was established in Victoria in 1975 by Roger Gillespie with the opening of its first bakery, The Old Style Bread Centre, in Ashburton, Victoria.
In 2003, the chain was listed on the Bendigo Stock Exchange.
On 18 December 2006, Brumby's announced Retail Food Group had proposed a merger.
As of 2007, Brumby's Bakeries has over 320 franchises throughout Australia and New Zealand, up from 280 in 2003.
In 2012 Brumby's Bakeries Managing Director wrote an internal memo that suggested franchisees increase their prices and "let the carbon tax take the blame". The company subsequently apologised for the memo.
