Our Shiny New Bakery
It’s finished at last!!! (The bakery has been 90% completed for a while now, but our finishing touches just went in.) And so, I am proud to present the all-new, redesigned, Crown Market Bakery Department. Drum roll please…
And just to show how “new and improved” we really are…
We gutted the bakery and had all new custom cabinetry and woodwork installed along the back wall. We purchased brand new showcases, as well as new shelving and all kinds of fun things that only I would find exciting (think wrapping stations and self-serve refrigerated cases – yes, I am a pastry dork.) Warm green paint, chalkboard signs and pendant lighting help to add that warm, fresh-bread-from-the-oven bakery feeling. The space now appears much larger, more open, and certainly more inviting, even though we actually lost some square footage. Just goes to show how important it is to use the space you have to its best potential.
A lot of blood, sweat and tears went into this redesign. Thank you to Erin, Mark and the whole Crown Bakery Team for all their hard work!
During the day, all of our freshly baked breads are kept on these sheleves. This picture was taken at the end of the night. As you can tell, we have really good bread.
We should have taken shots of ourselves before AND after to show the toll the process took on US! LOL
p.s. I guess I should have made more challah that day. }:-/
Congratulations to you and the “new and improved” Crown Market Bakery”. What a remarkable difference. It looks like your customers are enjoying the fruits of your labors.
A special congratulations to our “smart cookie”.
Love you
Mom
Wow!! I’m so impressed!! Congratulations and best wishes in your new space!!
The goodies definitely look more appealing in the new, improved store. I’m going to visit some day.
Your new space is beautiful. It is a great showcase for your beautiful products.
What an improvement! Glad to finally picture what you have been talking about! Congratualtions to you and the store!
What an amazing transformation! I was a huge fan of Crown’s bakery when I was at UHart and stopped by at least once a week for breads and cookies (mmmm…macaroons). I haven’t been in probably a year…Whole Foods is usually my grocery destination if I’m in West Hartford now, plus I’ve been baking my own goodies…but I will definitely visit soon now that I see how it’s changed!
