Kneaders Bakery & Cafe abruptly closes 6 Valley locations

🍰 Utah-based Kneaders Bakery & Cafe appears to have abruptly shut down six of its 11 Valley locations.

The company has made no announcement and has not responded to inquiries, but its website now lists just two locations in Mesa, one in Gilbert, one in Queen Creek, and one in Glendale.

Removed are Kneaders in Tempe, Chandler, Gilbert (SanTan Village), Ahwatukee, Avondale, and Surprise.

Kneaders sells more than a dozen types of bread, plus cookies, cakes, pies, sweet rolls, and other pastries.

It also serves omelets, croissant sandwiches, and its signature Chunky Cinnamon French toast for breakfast, and sandwiches, salads, and soups for lunch.
