The Baker's Pantry is a locally owned Iowa small business, located in Dallas Center, at the northwest corner of the Des Moines metro area.
Joe and Laura Cover of Dallas Center, Iowa, purchased the Keller's Country Store in 2009, and moved it from its rural Dallas County country location into a store at 1406 Walnut in downtown Dallas Center.
The storefront and interior at the new location were completely remodeled for The Baker's Pantry by the Covers' other business, Cover's Construction.
The Covers are members of the Dunkard Brethren Church, and Joe contributes to the community as a member of the Dallas Center Economic Development Committee.
"Wow, your store is much bigger than it looks from the outside! I'm glad we stopped in for a look!"
"Thanks for being here, your store is great!"
"Dallas Center has needed a place like this for a long, long time!"
"Our monthly grocery cost has gone down so much my hubby thinks I'm shoplifting!"
"We grind our wheat grains at home, and finding them here in 50-lb. bags is awesome!"
