To my wonderful community and loyal customers,
The time has come for a bittersweet announcement. After many incredible years, I have made the decision to retire J’aime Madeleine. While it is tough to say goodbye to this chapter, I am stepping away to fully pursue another deep passion of mine: music, golf and other million things! I want to extend my deepest, most sincere thank you to all of my loyal customers. Your years of support, kind words, and love for our baked goods have meant the world to me.
Please note that this coming weekend will be our very last markets:
- Saturday, May 30th: Our final day at the Lubber Run Market
- Sunday, May 31st: Our final day at the Westover Market
I sincerely apologize for the late notice! The right timing and a wonderful opportunity presented themselves quickly. I promise to make sure we are well-supplied for this final weekend, so please come by to stock up and enjoy your favorite treats one last time!
A Special Thank You
I also want to send a huge thank you to all of the market staff who work so hard behind the scenes to make these local markets a success. I am going to miss the market energy and community very much—though I will certainly be back as a customer to support you all!
I’m Not Disappearing completely!
While the ovens might be cooling down, I won’t be gone for good. You will absolutely see me return from time to time in my next venture as a musician. I hope you’ll follow me on that journey, too!
Thank you all for the memories, the laughs, and the support. See you this weekend for one final, delicious farewell!
With love and gratitude,
Patrice Olivon/The J’aime Madeleine Team
