The kitchen had been closed unexpectedly for five weeks, but Schneider s Bakery, a Westerville staple since 1954, has reopened.
Shaun Stonerook, Schneider’s owner since spring 2017, said a leak in the roof at 6 S. State St. caused the closing that initially was supposed to be one week.
“We had to get a new roof, new ceiling, new walls and new floor – basically, an entirely new kitchen,” he said.
The iconic Westerville bakery reopened its doors March 29.
“We are extremely lucky to be in a great community that supports us little guys,” said a notice on Schneider’s Facebook page. “It’s been extremely difficult for everyone in the past year, and we really appreciate the support and are thankful for everyone that has been in or ordered cookies online.”
