In January, our bagel adventure will take an exciting turn as we open our very own shop at 1 Whistlestop Mall, next to the Rockport Train Station, just 7 minutes away from our current location. The space, formerly occupied by Mayflour Bakery, is the perfect size for us and will allow us to use our own commercial ovens and proof more bagels on site. We began renovations this week and we couldn’t be more excited!
Initially, we will be open on Saturdays and Sundays. As we get settled in the spring, we will add more days to our operating schedule and introduce “fast track coffee” as well. There is plenty of parking, and our shop will be easily accessible from Railroad Avenue (127).
What We Love About the Whistlestop
The Whistlestop Mall in Rockport, is definitely buzzing with excitement, especially with the upcoming opening of Rockport Brewing’s new taproom. Sandy Bay Provisions offers a wide selection of products, including cool classic toys, and has recently expanded its wine selection. The Cape Ann Community Cinema (the one with the couches) is showing the 40th anniversary restored version of Wim Wenders’ Paris, Texas this week! We have already become big fans of Apothecary Suil Crow’s homemade jams and preserves. Rockport Real Estate has been great to partner with, and we look forward to meeting all of our fellow tenants in the weeks to come.
Gratitude
We have had a great run at the Cape Ann Shared Kitchen and would like to thank Doug Keiles and our fellow chefs for their support and encouragement every step of the way. Most of all, we are grateful to our awesome customers, whom we truly love making bagels for.
Upcoming Schedule
We are selling bagels today (while they last) and will have two more sales open to all at 23 East Main Street on December 15 and December 22. Visit our website at www.saltysbagels.com to sign up for news and updates on our opening date at 1 Whistlestop Mall in Rockport.
