📢📣‼️
It’s with a heavy heart that we have to announce that the Lucky Bean Bakery is closed effective immediately. ‼️‼️
As a small business who is reliant on a constant electricity supply, this entire loadshedding crisis has crippled the bakery. Some of you know, but some don’t, sourdough is such a time sensitive 48 hour process, with minimum to no flexibility to the process,sourdough is a product made with live starter cultures, with a last minute stage 6 implemented and then changed to stage 2, with possible stage 8 coming, it’s impossible to plan ahead. We’ve lost a ridiculous amount of breads, money and sleep trying to navigate the loadshedding journey.
We wish we could carry on, and we want to thank every single one of you who bought a bread, we couldn’t have done the last 2 years without you! Thank you!
Our amazing amazing amazing partner Zanele Nivati has shown tremendous entrepreneurial spirit and learned a whole lot during her journey with us, and has already been offered a few positions with space to grow. If you see her around give her a high five 🙌
There will be some brownies and rusks available at Tea in the Trees from next week so make sure to go and stock up and enjoy a cup of Kate’s delicious coffee.
Once again, thank you all!
PS: There will be some industrial bakery equipment for sale if anyone knows of anyone looking.
Have a wonderful festive season!
Lots of love and Gratitide
Bianca & Gareth Hubbard 💜
