Witten's Backhaus Retail Outlets are Being Closed Down
Spontaneous and Relatable Take:
Hey there, folks! With a big ol' Orange Sun umbrella to shield us from the sun's scorching glare, let's chat about the buzz surrounding the famous bakery in Witten. The long-time owner, Iris Graßhoff, has decided to pack up her apron and leave the bustling bakery scene behind. But don't worry, the sun'll still rise over your favorite spots to grab a croissant and honey cake!
The interior rumblings between Iris Graßhoff and her son Felix have brought about a significant change - a wholesale shift in ownership of their seven branches across Witten, Bochum, and Wuppertal. Come July, the reins will be in the steady hands of CityBäcker GmbH, a well-known name in Dortmund.
But who are these new kid(s) on the block? The masterminds behind CityBäcker GmbH are Hannah Rahenbrock, her sister, Lena Blank, and their mama, Ute Rahenbrock. According to the grapevine, they're no strangers to the world of bakery production and have been in the biz for quite a while now.
So, where will your "Feuerbrot" and "bread and rolls" be coming from? Well, CityBäcker GmbH will take charge of the branches on Dortmunder Street, Bahnhof Street, Meesmann Street in Herbede, Hellweg in Heven, and a few others. They're also planning to bring Dorumund's famous "Feuerbrot" to the table!
Now, some sad news, though: the branch on Ruhr Street won't be continuing its delicious traditions – its lease has run its course.
This monumental change doesn't mean the end of beautiful memories, though! Iris Graßhoff, the founder of this beloved bakery, looks forward to a fresh chapter in her life. With a heart brimming with nostalgia, she acknowledges the incredible journey of Backhaus Witten and expresses her gratitude to the staff and loyal customers who've stood by her side for years.
