We’re advised the bakery was doing extra gross sales for on-line orders lately significantly in California, with fewer clients really coming by the storefront, even for folk requesting deliveries close by.
Buddy’s not leaving the normal bakery setup altogether although … it seems like that is restricted to Santa Monica.
We’re advised 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 plenty of foot visitors.
Meanwhile, sadly, the oldsters who labored on the Santa Monica location seem like dropping their jobs proper earlier than the vacations.
