calvinandmommy Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 I love baking and I want to start a business selling my baked goods. I've been trying to think of names for my business and thought of Sweet Southern Flour. I am from the south (Texas) and currently live in Colorado. Every bakery or restaurant around here has a reference to the mountains so I want to do something different. The husband thinks southern means like fried chicken not baked goods like breads and cookies and brownies. What do you all think? Also another name could be Sweet Country Flour (grew up in the country). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazz Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Having the word "flour" in the name, does not tell me it's a bakery, but more of a goods store, where I would purchase flour. Don't want to sound negative, but the name is very important. You've only got one shot at the name, and it will be part of your brand, and building the brand is what will separate you from your competition. What about something like Southern Belle Bakery? I have a cousin who owned and operated a bakery in the Milwaukee area. She started her day, getting up at 2 every morning, and was in the kitchen of her bakery by 3, just so she could have muffins, sweet rolls, coffee cakes, along with breads, cakes, and whatever else she sold, ready for the case by 7 when she opened. She closed up at 3 each day, and locked the back door at 5 to go home. Makes for a very long day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky-gunner Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Is there a reason why that all have a mountain name? think it could be a downfall calling it something different could also be a good thing to call it something different ask the locals at the end of the day they will be your customers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleLuka Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 i like sweet southern flour honestly and i would assume it was a bakery instead of a goods store. also, i think it would be good to not be like all the other bakeries. good luck, i think it's a great idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CARRINGTON Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 I personally like sweet southern flour, but I also like Southern Belle Bakery..... I think you will need more input and when you do why not make a poll question and have people vote? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calvinandmommy Posted February 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Thank you everybody. Any input is helpful. =) My mom suggested Southern Charm Bakery just now. I really like that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
