We Need a Bakery (Charlotte, Monroe: neighborhood, subdivisions, shopping center)

[Svross]

I want to open my own bakery here in the south Charlotte area. But I'm a mom with three kids and would need a partner.

Does anyone have any suggestions on where to open?

Thank you!!

EAT MORE PIE!!!

study the area in ratio of subdivisions to bakeries the ones that seem to be lacking bakeries or ratio to various subdivisions may be a good location

There's a new one you should check out - they do bread! But also their lemon squares are to die for

The Bread Basket on Monroe Road (in Greylyn Business Park).

You should open in Ballantyne somewhere. Maybe Matthews?

Not being a baker by profession, what is considered a "real bakery"?

There is a cupcake place in town now. The Polka Dot Bake Shop. It's at Park and Woodlawn, in the same shopping center as Total Wine.
