Casey Griswold honed his skills as an executive chef in local restaurants, but now with his brother Brett Griswold owns European Bakery & Pastry on Millbury Street in Worcester, a business that caters to a variety of international treats, focusing on Polish and Eastern European recipes. The new ownership became effective in August.
The chef said he never really thought about buying a business and that it was his brother who initially was interested in investing locally. “Brett asked me to check out the bakery with him,” said Casey Griswold. “Our wives joined us on the initial visit when we bought bread, etc. Brett and I concluded after more visits that we really liked the place. He checked the numbers, asked me what I thought, and here we are.”
