    CONGRATULATING BRITTON'S GOURMET BAKERY ON ITS 60TH ANNIVERSARY

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. JEFFERSON VAN DREW

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 15, 2025

  Mr. VAN DREW. Mr. Speaker, I rise to proudly commend and congratulate 
Britton's Gourmet Bakery on its 60th anniversary, a remarkable 
milestone for a beloved small business that began its journey in 1965. 
Founded by Marie and Ray Britton in Stone Harbor, South Jersey, the 
bakery relocated to Wildwood Crest in 1992, where it continues to 
proudly operate today as a cherished, family-owned institution. Now in 
its third generation, my friend, Christa Linnington and her team, have 
remained committed to delivering the highest quality recipes, time-
honored traditions, and exceptional service that have made it a 
cornerstone of the South Jersey community. For six decades, Britton's 
has delighted customers with freshly baked goods, including their 
famous cinnamon buns, gourmet donuts, Danishes, muffins, and French 
pastries so iconic, in fact, that President Ronald Reagan once 
requested a sample and later wrote back to say how much he enjoyed 
their fritters. The hardworking team at Britton's Bakery begins each 
day before sunrise, ensuring that their customers enjoy pastries that 
are not only fresh, but often still warm from the oven. I congratulate 
Britton's Gourmet Bakery on 60 years of excellence. May their legacy of 
quality, community, and service continue for generations to come. God 
bless Britton's Bakery, and God bless the United States of America, the 
greatest country on the face of the Earth.
