It was less than a year ago that Todd and Cori Sutton purchased 73-year-old Art’s Bakery in Millcreek Towsnship.
Now, the owners are moving ahead with plans for a new location in Harborcreek Township.
Todd Sutton said Art’s will lease space in a newly completed building at 4625 Buffalo Road, next door to Advance Auto, located east of the former Kmart Plaza.
A full-service location
Sutton described the new location as a full-operation bakery that will have its own equipment and make the full line of cakes, cookies, pies and other items on-site.
“It will have exactly the same offerings, all the same products,” he said.
He said that he and his wife, who purchased the business from second-generation owner Gordon Evans, had originally hoped to open the new bakery by the beginning of March. Delays have prompted them to move that date back to sometime before May 1.
Looking to hire
Sutton said he expects to hire about 15 new people to staff the new location and will be moving some existing employees to the new bakery.
