Your Stories Q&A: Freihofer’s Bakery Outlet closes in Lyncourt and Verona

SALINA, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) – You ask, we answer!

The Your Stories Team has heard from many of our viewers wanting to know why Freihofer’s Outlet Bakeries closed in Lyncourt and Verona.

Both locations served customers for decades. It was a go to spot for bagels, bread and other baked goods.

Freihofer’s parent company, Bimbo Bakeries USA, sent the Your Stories Team the following statement:

After careful analysis and consideration, we made the difficult decision to permanently close the Syracuse and Verona outlet stores and redistribute product to other locations. We appreciate all of our associates who worked at these stores and are taking steps to help ease them through this transition. Consumers can still enjoy their favorite baked goods, and can find them by using our product locator: https://www.bimbobakeriesusa.com/product-locator.

An employee with the Verona store, said the company did not give advanced warning that the shop was about to close. She said the company called her on Monday and told her the store was closing immediately.

The employee said workers were offered a severance package.
