Martha's Country Bakery
Dining · 5+ locations · NYC
A family-run Queens and Brooklyn bakery, run by the founders' son and his longtime partner more than 50 years after Martha and George Stertsios opened their first shop. A former employee's wage lawsuit settled in 2019, and Glassdoor rates the pay below 3 out of 5.
The Big Picture
Martha's Country Bakery has taken no outside investment and carries no franchise agreements in more than fifty years of family ownership. That independent structure hasn't kept it clear of a wage-and-hour lawsuit, settled in 2019, or a Glassdoor rating below 3 out of 5. The bakery answers to its two owner-operators, George Stertsios and Tony Zannikos, not to outside investors.
