Saturday June 29, 2024, at 1:30 p.m., the Derval bakery located at 24, avenue Chanzy in Laval (Mayenne) will definitely lower the curtain but to reinvent itself. “ Our other store which is located at the cathedral becomes the head office and this one on avenue de Chanzy becomes our laboratory of preparation », explains Pierre Derval.
When the young man joined the family business in 2018, a breath of fresh air was breathed into it.
« We were keen to perpetuate the family history with our boutique in the city center, near the cathedral. It’s a bit like our first baby with Clémence », s’amuse Pierre. “We also wanted to make our contribution by developing differently, in particular by offering our biscuits to professionals (delicatessens, wine merchants, etc.).),” explains Clémence Derval.
Nomadic pastries such as cakes and biscuits such as langue de chat, palets breton and savory sables are becoming essential. Collection on order and delivery anywhere in France thanks to the online store is part of the new ways of life. “ We offer 8 types of sweet biscuits and 5 salty ones in store and at our partner retailers. We aim to offer 2 new products per year. We decided to transform the bakery into our confectionery laboratory. »
