statement<\/a> stating that McMillan’s is not reopening, clarifying that the new property owner plans to open a bakery under a different name. The family said that when the building was sold, the McMillan’s name, trademark, recipes and “goodwill” remained with the family.<\/p>\n“McMillan’s has always been a family business, founded by our grandparents George and Evelyn and carried forward by their children, grandchildren, cousins, spouses, aunts, and uncles,” the statement said. “Our mother Arline was the heart of the bakery, and she made us promise to keep the McMillan’s legacy in the family. When she passed, our family vowed to follow her wishes and we intend to honor that promise into the future.”<\/p>\n
Arline Biemiller, George and Evelyn’s eldest daughter, died in 2023. The McMillan family listed the building for sale in the fall of 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n
