50 year old local bakery closes

A charming bakery known for its old-school (or should we say, old-world) charm has closed their doors.

After their building went up for sale in April, Old World Bakery posted on Facebook that there would be new owners as of June. “The new owners are very nice and they are quite excited to begin making DOUGHNUTS for you to enjoy. I will help them for 2 weeks, showing them whatever they care to learn, and maybe get to learn a little as well.
