Milk Bar consists of a central bakery that produces baked goods daily for five retail outlets in New York City and a sixth location in Toronto, Canada. A seventh location was originally planned to open in Washington, D.C. during summer 2015, and finally opened in October 2015. The central bakery also provides baked goods for other restaurants in the Momofuku group and individuals by shipping nationally and internationally. In February 2016, it was announced that an eighth location is planned to be opened at the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas in Nevada sometime in the unspecified near future.
