Hello everyone. Due to the enormous increases in energy, ingredients, and labor, our day-to-day retail operations and occupancy costs have become impossible to sustain. Therefore, Kettlebread Deli will be closing our two store locations at the end of the day this Saturday February 7. But no sad goodbyes just yet… because this isn’t the end. We intend to continue making Kettlebread. After we wind down, a couple of us plan to quickly resume baking, then retailing the actual Kettlebread itself. Something we’ve never done. We’ll have all the varieties (and more no doubt if that is what we’re focused on) as well as our popular dinner rolls and condiments. We'll have them available both online with free delivery as well as through new channels. This will also help us retire debt and redeem gift cards. Discussions are already in motion, and we’ll share details soon.
So, for now, the stores will be closing. The bread will not.
More to come.
