Erie County Legislator Chris Greene recently celebrated Mom and Pop Business Owners Day by presenting a proclamation to Marve and Lisa Ohlson, the owners of Ohlson’s Bakery in Williamsville.

Mom and Pop Business Owners day is celebrated on March 29^th in Erie County. The day is used as an opportunity to celebrate the family-owned businesses that make American communities diverse and vibrant.

Carrying on the family business has a special meaning for owners Marve and Lisa Ohlson—both come from families who own and operate their own bakeries. The baked goods at Ohlson’s bakery are a collection of recipes handed down from Lisa’s granddad, dad and Marve’s parents.

Legislator Greene said, “Thank you to Marve and Lisa for carrying out such a wonderful family tradition. Small businesses are the heart and soul of communities like Williamsville. I encourage everyone who hasn’t paid Ohlson’s Bakery a visit to stop in and try all of the sweet treats they have to offer.”
