London-based The Hummingbird Bakery has been acquired by investment firm Acropolis Capital.
Acropolis Capital acquired the bakery and brand, for an undisclosed sum, through a pre-pack administration process, securing the ongoing operation of three of its shops in Notting Hill, South Kensington and Spitalfields which it said protected more than 60 jobs.
The bakery also operated sites in Soho, Richmond and Islington, but Acropolis has not confirmed whether these are part of the deal.
“We are incredibly excited to be the new owners of this iconic brand and look forward to working with the talented team at Hummingbird. We see huge potential to reinvigorate and grow the business while staying true to its American baking heritage,” said Cameron Chartouni, CEO of Acropolis Capital.
