OnwardNeighborhood bakery with a 22-year morning line
There's a line out the door on Saturday mornings and half of it is people I've known twenty years. The head baker can run production without me — she proved it when I broke my wrist. I'd stay through a holiday season to hand over the wholesale accounts personally. The name should stay; the neighborhood would riot.
About the business
Full-line neighborhood bakery — morning counter trade, standing wholesale accounts with three local coffee shops, and a seasonal holiday business that sells out every year. Recipes, supplier relationships, and a trained back-of-house team all transfer.
What customers know us for
The Saturday line. People wait twenty minutes for the same three things they have bought for twenty years, and half of them know the counter staff by name.
The crew
Nine. A head baker who can run production without me, two bakers, four on the counter and two part-timers for the holidays. The head baker has been here eleven years and proved she could run it when I broke my wrist.
Why now
The bakery raised my family, and it is time. I want to watch it keep going from the customer side of the counter.
How much runs without the owner
Production runs without me. What only I do is the wholesale accounts, the ordering and the holiday planning, and I would hand those over personally through one holiday season.
Where the work comes from
Walk-in counter trade is most of it, nearly all repeat. Three coffee shops take wholesale on standing orders, about a fifth of revenue. The holiday business sells out every year without advertising.
Room to grow
Catering and online orders. We turn down office catering every month and we have never taken an order over the internet. A buyer who did either would not need a bigger kitchen.
Someone who will keep the name and the head baker and stand at the counter on a Saturday. The neighborhood would notice a stranger, so I would rather sell to someone who wants to become a regular before they become the owner.
