I noticed a for sale sign in the window of the bakery on Mahoning Avenue.
Didn't the store just open last February?
Must have. Its sad seeing this, since you know that someone put a lot of time, money and effort into the business. This person has probably been making cakes in their house for years, and then got the idea to expand into a business. But the time it takes to run the business takes time away from making cakes, and the overhead involved quickly drains away any profits that are made. Not many can successfully make the transition from home based business to a storefront.
I think this location is cursed. How many bakeries have been here in the last 10 years?
Did any members here support this business? Maybe stop by and pick something up on your way to or from supporting downtown on Thursdays?
Over the last several months, I've purchased donuts, bread and peach cobblers at the bakery. When I was in the store two weeks ago, there was no indication that the business was closing.
I don't know if this is related. The glass windows on the front doors were smashed a few weeks ago. Although the glass was cracked, it did not fall out of the door frame.
Well done Jay!
