WHAT HAPPENED/IS HAPPENING THIS WEEK:
It was kinda an uneventful week…which is a GREAT thing!
The downstairs project is moving along and the paint colors look awesome and outrageous.
We still have a few of our team members at 91 but are working towards full consolidation.
Airport Heights bakery is experiencing more business and capturing more of the southside traffic. Their back courtyard is growing strong and has some beautiful florals.
TRAINING…
Liam is training in bread and adding a lot of thought and muscle to the bread team.
We have a new gal named Josie training on croissant starting this thursday and another new gal joining our team, most likely in scuffins.
Branden is training in sandwiches and Naomi is too! Miron has got that department slammin and so many sandwiches are happening!
We also have a new Clean team member, Maggie Dworian! Thats right, both expo queens have their daughters working here at this time!!
Maggie is cleaning Airport Heights bakery for about 2 hours each day, tuesday-Sunday. We are so grateful for her eye to detail and her willingness to work around her class schedule to keep the Logan bakery sparkling.
New faces on the counter…. Schuyler, Brooke, Colton, Emily and
WHATS TO COME:
More construction happening at K st….
A pop up for the children’s museum is happening next sunday, 9/18. It will be outside at AH and shouldn’t have a huge impact on business. 2ish hours sunday morning… more details to come.
ACCOLADES:
Our very own Molly D and the Pipeline Vocal Project was offered a contract to sing on Disney Cruises!!! This 3 man a cappella group will perform for cruisers in the pacific northwest starting in the spring of 2023. We are so proud of Mols, and know that she will still work with us when she can and however she can contribute. The girls got many talents.
ATTA BOY: Naomi’s music vide drops this friday!!!! It may not be suitable for younger ears, but we all know it will be fireyyyyyy! Maybe we can all watch it at Lauries big fun birthday/end of summer party on Saturday!
CUSTOMER FEEDBACK:
Positive review: “I come to Anchorage to visit my sister. Fire Island is always a must-do when I come. If my sister ever moves, I may still come to Anchorage just for Fire Island”
Negative review: “The vibe is nice, the line moved quickly for the amount of people in it, but sadly everything I ordered tasted horrible. This is one of those places where there’s surprise super spicy hot sauce on random things—the breakfast sandwich made me gag. I also got a fruit danish, which I figured a danish can’t be messed up, itʼs just sweet right? Nope, whatever spice they used did not belong on a danish. Soo if you like spicy food and weird danishes this is probably great, but for me it was a disappointing waste of money 🤷🏻♀️ ”
Questionable review: “i am one of many, many voices; we on the southside are massively mourning your recent closure. you were the bright spot in my day at least 2 times per week, and literally my favorite, favorite place in anchorage, and one of, if not my favorite bakery of all time! and i even lived in switzerland for a few years, so that is saying something!!!
i drove past the bakery the other day--knowing that it was closed. i have never felt such deep attachment to a business before. your bakery brought a great deal of simple joy to so many people, and we desperately hope that you'll come back soon. we miss our bright spot.”
FACILITY PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS:
A reach under fridgerator was unplugged over the weekend and we unfortunately lost everything in there.
