Dakota Bread Company, a popular West Bloomfield bakery known for its challah, will reopen next week under surprising new management. Today, Friendship Circle, a local Lubavitch-affiliated nonprofit focusing on individuals with special needs, announced the purchase of the bakery, which will be used as a venue to create job opportunities for adults with special needs.
The sale will officially close on Oct. 15, and the bakery will close temporarily Oct. 16-18 to transition into a kosher certified establishment. Reopening is scheduled for Oct. 19 and a private ribbon-cutting ceremony will follow. A community “drive-through” open house event will take place Oct. 25.
