Libre, a supermarket chain managed by Nikora Trade, bakes bread and pastries on-site rather than only stocking packaged loaves. Stores advertise freshly baked bread and pastries (“pur-puntusheuli”) made in the shop.

Combined with in-store hot coffee, the bakery supports Libre’s “close to home” neighbourhood format, aimed at quick everyday shopping.
