BENSALEM TOWNSHIP, PA — Fritz Bakery is still serving up those popular sticky buns and sweet treats it’s been known for since 1974. It’s just doing it a few doors down.
The bakery set up shop in the same shopping center as always in the Neshaminy Square.
The bakery held a grand opening celebration recently to tout its new space, just two doors down from its former location. The bakery has another location in Langhorne.
Bakery co-owner Kim Bartholomai told Patch last May that the bakery is taking over the space at the former St. Jude Religious Store, which closed after 60 years last August at its location at 4201 Neshaminy Blvd. in Neshaminy Square.
“We’ve been around almost 30 years,” she said of the bakeries that are located near the Neshaminy Mall and Oxford Valley Mall and employs 54 people. “But we’re going to expand. We’ve run out of room.”
The bakery put itself on the map in 1974, offering its popular sticky buns and a host of sweet treats from brownies, cookies and cupcakes, cheesecakes, Danish, pies, cinnamon rolls, and other goodies.
Bartholomai said the original Croydon shop was 800 square feet. The Langhorne location is 1,600 square feet while the old Bensalem location was 1,800 square feet.
The new space is 6,034 square feet.
She said the bakery will introduce a few new items after the move,hah with the new space, but won’t be adding seating or a sitting area as some customers hoped.
