Please help us give a HUGE congratulations to our September Employee of the Month, Roman Thomas!

Roman has been part of the CRUST family for a little over a year, working as both a Host & Food Runner and if you know Roman, you know there is truly never a dull moment when he’s around.

Roman is charismatic, hilarious, and an absolute character in the best way. If he isn’t working his tail off, you can pretty much guarantee he’s cracking someone up. He’s always willing to step in and help when asked, never shies away from a challenge, and somehow manages to tackle everything with a great attitude - almost as well as Breece Hall, the best running back in football according to Roman.

Outside of CRUST, Roman enjoys working at his church, reading, longboarding, and putting his espresso machine to good use. He’s also a fan of Christian Rap & Gospel music, cats, brownies, and a good Netflix binge. When asked what he enjoys most about CRUST, Roman said the fast-paced environment and the community — and we can confidently say that our community is better because he’s part of it. ❤️

Roman, thank you for bringing such an incredible attitude to work every day. Every room you walk into gets a little lighter, a little louder, and usually a lot funnier. In a busy, sometimes stressful production bakery, having someone who can work hard while still making the people around him smile is something we appreciate more than you know. We love and appreciate you so much, Roman! You are incredibly deserving of this recognition, and we’re so lucky to have you as part of the CRUST family.

We’re kicking off a brand-new Legacy Recognition Series, celebrating the incredible people who have helped shape Crust into what it is today and honestly, who better to start with than two people who have been here since the very beginning: Shelly Bissonnette and Steve Wells. ❤️

For 14 years, they have each poured their time, talent, hard work, and heart into Crust growing alongside us and helping shape who we are today. When we talk about the history of Crust, Shelly and Steve are woven into just about every part of it.

From the bread department to pastry, retail, driving, and the farmers market, these two have done it all. Between them is an incredible amount of knowledge, experience, stories, and probably more than a few “remember when…” moments from over the years.

But their legacy at Crust is about so much more than what they know or the jobs they’ve done. It’s about how they show up.

Shelly and Steve are hardworking, dependable, talented, and genuinely wonderful people. They are the kind of employees you want working beside you when the day gets busy. The kind who know what needs to be done and get to work. The kind you can count on. And the kind whose experience and dedication have helped make Crust stronger year after year.

Bakeries are built with equipment, recipes, products, and ideas but lasting bakeries are built by people. People who believe in what they’re doing. People who stick with it through growth, change, challenges, long days, early mornings, and everything in between. Shelly and Steve are those people.

To Shelly and Steve: thank you for the years you’ve given to Crust. Thank you for your hard work, your knowledge, your loyalty, your dedication, and all the ways, big and small, you have contributed to this place and the people around you. We are incredibly fortunate to have had you alongside us for this journey, and even luckier to still have you as part of the Crust family today.

Here’s to Shelly & Steve — two true Crust originals. 🥖❤️

And what a perfect pair to begin our Legacy Recognition Series.
