Open for 74 years, a beloved Gulfport bakery is expanding to this MS Coast city

Quality Bakery is cooking up something special. The family business and Gulfport staple will soon open a second location in Wiggins.

Owner Danielle White shared plans on social media and polled followers to measure interest in a Wiggins addition. The family said the response was humbling.

“We didn’t expect the response that we got,” a Facebook post said. “I can’t wait to get up there and get going. This is very exciting for our family.”

White chose a location in a new Flora Gene shopping strip. Before they can plan a grand opening, Quality Bakery must wait for the parking lot to be paved. There’s a plan to build out their unit to accommodate the popular business.

“If the rain will hold off and the parking lot can become a thing, it won’t be long,” a recent Facebook update says. “We can’t wait to come to Wiggins.”

The new expansion would be a first for the 74-year-old bakery, but it may not be the last one. The family hinted at Wiggins being the first, but has not responded to questions of a second satellite location or where a third location would be.

“God willing, we will be in Gulfport for many generations.”

Quality Bakery’s second location is under construction. The bakery will be located in Wiggins’ Pine Hill area.
