Bread dispensing apparatus

Apparatus for storing and dispensing loaves of sliced bread in plastic wrappers in sanitary condition is simple, easy to operate and keeps the bread from drying out in storage. The bread is stored in a substantially closed tubular container with an opening for removing bread slices. A hinged lid closes to seal the opening to prevent entry of air into the bread wrapper in the storage condition, and opens to permit removal of the bread slice by slice in the dispensing condition. The open end of the wrapper is positioned outside the container on the outside of the tubing and is grasped and moved for forcing the loaf of bread slice by slice toward the opening for dispensing.
