Their bread is the best I have ever had. And I eat a lot of bread!<br />I know I won't be the only one that misses it!<br />Oh, and I am a local born and raised here. Please stop generalizing about all locals leave on the weekends.

In fairness don't know that this is what happened with Breadfolks, but I don't buy their 'proof-of-concept' line.<br /><br />I will say that food and staffing costs have certainly spiked in the last couple of years, and restaurants often operate on very thin margins. Flour in particular has shot up since the Russian invasion of Ukraine began, and I don't think the price has eased as much as the market would like. It's a stressful time to be in food service, in any capacity.<br /><br />Sadly, the small business community suffered most during the pandemic, while some entities abused the system in a fraud so widespread we will likely never be able to correct the worst abuses. I looked for Breadfolks on the ProPublica PPP database, but couldn't find them on cursory glance- not sure what their corporate name is, or if they were even open long enough to qualify for assistance.John Kanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03300676479057228139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-90994775943682181042022-08-30T17:15:00.226-04:002022-08-30T17:15:00.226-04:00They were always an option!They were always an option!MGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07223320432463159361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-11227329047788315012022-08-30T17:11:31.088-04:002022-08-30T17:11:31.088-04:00You're correct.

What happens to all the employees that lose their jobs because your little hobby became to much work. Its nice to have small, successful businesses in town, but it really sucks when rich kid whims come and go so frivolously.
