We’re instructed the bakery was doing extra gross sales for on-line orders in recent times significantly in California, with fewer clients truly coming by the storefront, even for folk requesting deliveries close by.
Buddy’s not leaving the normal bakery setup altogether although … it feels like that is restricted to Santa Monica.
We’re instructed there is a new Carlo’s Bake Shop opening this December in New York City’s Times Square … which BV feels will entice locals and vacationers. There’s definitely numerous foot site visitors.
Meanwhile, sadly, the parents who labored on the Santa Monica location look like dropping their jobs proper earlier than the vacations.
