PITTSBURGH, PA — After more than 30 years in business, a beloved Pittsburgh eatery is closing.
Jean-Marc Chatellier’s French Bakery on North Avenue Millavale is shutting its doors. The announcement was made in a social media post on Wednesday.
“Small bakeries like ours will exist only in memories, replaced by chains,” the bakery’s Facebook post stated.
“It’s happening in France, here and all over the world. It’s becoming economically unfeasible to operate a small chef owned bakery. On every level, in every aspect, running any kind of chef owned business is becoming exceedingly difficult. We are grateful for the opportunity to have served you all these years.”
Before closing, the bakery will be open on Friday from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m.-2 p.m., but the only available items will be breakfast pastries, apple strudles and breton shortbread.
