WE HAVE A WINNER!!!!


Congratulations Jenny Reosti! We are pleased to announce that our very first give away is going to be enjoyed by Jenny and her family.


Today Doorstep bakery will be selling our breads and cookies at The Mercantile Restaurant, located on the square in Manchester. This is a new venue for us and we are eager to see how it will work.
The Mercantile is located in a building that is approximately 100 years old. Sue Banks and her sister, Jane Lusk have invested in the building, making the necessary upgrades to meet the many health and safety codes in order that the building  can be purposeful and continue to be useful.
Using the building for a commercial kitchen and restaurant presented more than the usual set backs but the work is now complete and they are serving up family style meals.
Sue and Jane respect the history behind this building and recall memories from their childhood when the building was a grocery store. Renovating a old space can be frustrating. Each new layer of need reveals yet more challenges. It takes a dedicated effort and a willingness to cope with unexpected problems. A vision of 'what can be' is key to taking a potentially derelict building and returning it to service once again, breathing new life within its walls.
Doorstep Bakery likes this type of vision and finds that it fits in with our desire to celebrate local businesses.
