One of a trio of bakeries north of Boston is facing an uncertain future.
According to a message sent to us, the lease for Topsfield Bakeshop on Main Street in the center of Topsfield is set to expire at the end of the year, and based on an earlier Facebook post from the place, it does not look like the lease can be extended because another lease appears to be in place for the space. The store, which has been in business for more than 10 years, gets much of its business from various events including the Topsfield Fair, and we have been told that business has taken a hit this year due to the pandemic resulting in the cancelling of multiple events (including the Topsfield Fair).
Another Topsfield Bakeshop can be found on Boston Street in Topsfield while a popup location is located in Burlington. (The website for all locations is at https://www.topsfieldbakeshop.com/)
