PROVINCETOWN – Inside the Provincetown Portuguese Bakery on Saturday, a group of women in silver Bachelorette sashes crowded the shelves of desserts as they tried to figure out what to buy.
They weren t the only ones, either, eyeing racks of pastries with intent.
With the 8 a.m. opening of the bakery after a year of uncertainty, due to the COVID-19 virus threat and a change of ownership, came a welcome rush of business, said co-owner Chuck Stanko.
“It was really busy,” Stanko said on Monday.
The surprise on Saturday, he said, was how many people came in to thank him and his husband, George Carroll, a baker, for keeping the tradition going.
