A new bakery is in the works in Downtown
Williamston, and the name behind it is one that is sure to get few people excited.
Gracie's Place, the popular Putnam St. eatery will be opening the Blue Button Bakery by the end of this month, which will supply the restaurant's breads as well as other offerings to shoppers.
"It'll have your regular things like bagels, different types of breads, and it'll also have pasties and sweets as well," says Gracie’s General Manager Ben Donnelly. "We're kicking around the idea of gelato."
The 1,600 square foot bakery will also house Gracie's catering business, as well as supply breads to other local restaurants. Donnelly hopes the Blue Button Bakery will eventually sell their breads in local grocery stores.
"We're really just looking to offer the local area finer quality products," Donnelly says, "and make it available more locally so you don't have to drive so far to get that kind of quality."
Work on the Blue Button Bakery is now underway, and Donnelly hopes it will be ready to open by the end of March. He expect about ten employees to staff the bakery.
