Steven Giraudo, an artisan baker from Italy whose first job in America was at Boudin, bought the bakery in 1941 but later sold it.[1] After a series of ownership changes the bakery was bought by two of Giraudo's sons through an investment bank.[1]
The bakery has locations on Fisherman's Wharf near San Francisco Bay, Disney's California Adventure Park, and 30 other cafés scattered throughout California. The main bakery in San Francisco is in the Richmond District on the corner of 10th Avenue and Geary Boulevard. The Boudin Bakery hosts the attraction The Bakery Tour at Disney's California Adventure, where tourists are given a tour about how sourdough bread is produced. The bakery still uses the same "starter" yeast culture it developed during the California Gold Rush. In addition, they recently opened a bakery in Yorktown Shopping Center in Lombard Illinois, making it their first store outside California borders.
