Other Side of Amy’s Baking Company Controversy in Scottsdale To Soon Be Told

SCOTTSDALE, AZ. MAY 15, 2013 -- Amy’s Baking Company will host a Grand
Re-Opening on Tuesday night, May 21, following unflattering portrayals
on national television.

Customers will be able to decide who is correct: a famous celebrity chef
or the marketplace that has supported the small, locally-owned business
for six years.

When re-opened, a portion of proceeds will benefit a charity organized
to bring awareness to cyber bullying.

Seating is limited. Reservations may be made by emailing <I snipped>

Diners will also have the opportunity to meet, and judge for themselves
the character of owners Amy and Samy Bouzaglo, who have devoted their
lives to and earn their living from their small restaurant. The
Bouzaglos have been married for 10 years, after Sammy emigrated from Israel.

The owners will likely be holding a press conference before the Grand
Re-Opening and answer falsehoods depicted on a reality television show,
including assertions that the restaurant confiscates tips from servers.

In fact, wait staff is paid $8-$14 per hour, two and half to nearly five
times the standard hourly wage for servers.

Questions will also be answered about what happened to their Facebook page.

Amy’s Baking Company was recently featured on the hit PBS show “Check
Please” and has received A+ reports from CBS 5 for kitchen preparedness.

“We are very upset by what has taken place, apologize about the acrimony
that has ensued but now must fight back to save our business. We hope
and believe much good can result from what has transpired. We ask the
public to keep an open mind as we begin to tell our side of the story,”
Samy Bouzaglo said.
