“This Wisconsin-based, family-owned company operates more than 800 stores in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Michigan, South Dakota and Illinois. Their bakeries make more than two dozen different items each day, and all milk is sourced from dairy farms within a 100-mile radius of La Crosse, Wisconsin,” USA Today wrote.

A panel of experts from USA Today partnered with 10Best editors to pick the initial nominees. Readers subsequently chose the top 10 winners by popular vote.
