About this listen

For over a century, Kirchhoff’s Bakery has been a cornerstone of Paducah—a place where history, food, and community come together. With a seamless, almost stealthy exchange, new ownership has stepped in, not to change the legacy, but to honor and continue it. The same breads, the same service, the same heart—carried forward with a deep commitment to this town and its traditions. This is not just a business transition; it’s a promise to keep a Paducah treasure alive. You’re going to want to hear this story.
