The Montrose-Verdugo City Chamber of Commerce had a ribbon cutting and grand opening for Gio’s Baguettes and More. Owners Vasken and Annie Fernezlian and their daughter Azniv, who runs the store, feature sandwiches with bread that is flown in from France and tastes truly authentic. Gio’s makes everything else in house from scratch and has a selection of sandwiches, soups and various pasteries.
