Wenger's bakery in Delhi is celebrating its centennial, marking 100 years since its establishment in 1924. Initially founded by Jeanne Sterchi Wenger and H.C. Wenger to serve the British Army, it evolved into a beloved bakery, confectionery, and tea room.
Over the decades, Wenger's moved to its iconic Connaught Place premises, becoming a social hub. In 1944, Brij Mohan Tandon acquired the business, transforming it into a family enterprise now run by the third generation, Aman and Atul Tandon.
