Pomona Bakery Rises like bread dough

If you haven't seen the Metro Pomona blog (and why haven't you?). On Wednesday, April 28, they announced that the Pomona Bakery was returning:

Oh Boy! They're Back! (almost)


Good news folks. The Pomona Baking Company will reopen June 1 under new ownership. Pete and Kim Anerio will pick up where the Baking Company left off. Same menu, same quality, but more of it. They have plans to expand to a deli operation as well, so fresh sandwiches and other goodies will be available. There is a grand opening planned, but the date is not certain. When we find out, we'll let you know.

Let's give Pete and Kim a big welcome to the neighborhood.

Any new intel on when the PBC is coming back?

Unfortunately, there were problems with the landlord wanting to increase the rent on the space and taking away some of the space, so they will not be reopening in the old spot as I had previously announced. The last I heard, they were looking for a different space.

Wow. That's a bummer. It is a nice spot. I have lots of fond memories of getting cookies with my daughters on Saturday mornings. I hope they find another good location.

That is indeed a pity.

Is the owner of that building Jason Aboud? I know he owns much of the rest of that row. And that would explain things, from what I've heard

John Clifford said...

Meg. Yes. But since I'm getting all my information second hand, I didn't feel comfortable "naming names."

Heard a rumor that the bakery may be close to a deal on a space west of Garey that may include expansion to other kinds of food items as well. If I hear anything definitive, I'll let you know.

Awesome! Thanks John.
