Resch’s Bakery, a beloved family-owned institution with a rich history spanning 112 years, is bringing its time-honored recipes and delectable treats to a new location.
The bakery, which has been delighting customers at its East Livingston Avenue location for decades, is set to open a second shop in Gahanna. This exciting expansion will see the bakery taking over the building that formerly housed Dollar General at 150 N. Hamilton Road.
The new Gahanna location is more than just an additional storefront; it will become the main production space for Resch’s Bakery. This move is designed to meet the growing demand for their mouth-watering assortment of donuts, pastries, cakes, cookies, pretzels, pies, and more.
While the Livingston Avenue bakery will continue to operate as usual, the new store will mirror its menu offerings. Although there is no official opening date for the Gahanna location yet, the goal is to have the new facility open next spring. This timeline gives the bakery ample time to set up its new production space and ensure that everything meets the high standards that Resch’s Bakery is known for.
The story of Resch’s Bakery is one of tradition, resilience, and a deep connection to its roots. The bakery was founded by Wilhelm Resch, who immigrated to America from the German town of Neiderwinden in 1906. In 1912, Wilhelm and his uncle built the first Resch’s Bakery at 1029 E. Livingston Avenue. This original site served the community until 1962, when the bakery moved to its current location at 4061 E. Livingston Avenue. Over the years, the bakery has remained a family-owned business, now proudly operating under its sixth generation of ownership.
This continuity of family ownership has allowed Resch’s Bakery to maintain its commitment to quality and tradition, even as it evolves to meet the needs of modern customers. The decision to open a second location is a testament to the bakery’s enduring popularity and the trust that generations of customers have placed in it.
Whether you’re a longtime fan or a curious newcomer, the new Gahanna location promises to deliver the same delightful experience that Resch’s Bakery has been known for since 1912.
So, as we eagerly await the opening of Resch’s Bakery in Gahanna, there’s no better time to swing into the OG spot and stock up on some sweet treats! To keep up to date with the progress, you can follow Resch’s Bakery on Facebook.
