Early last evening, first responders were called to the Conshohocken Italian Bakery for a fire. The bakery shared on social media that an oven malfunctioned and that it would be closed for the “foreseeable future.”

We apologize for any inconvenience, but we will not be opening for the foreseeable future. During tonight’s bake, we had an oven malfunction, which we are working to resolve. Everyone is okay, and we thank everyone for checking up on us.. We also want to take a moment to thank our local fire departments, who quickly responded and secured the scene.

We appreciate your understanding.

The bakery announced on October 10th that it would close after 51 years to allow for more family time. The bakery has been sold to an unnamed buyer, and its future operations are unknown. We know the new owners will not operate it as the Conshohocken Italian Bakery.

The Conshohocken Italian Bakery had announced that it would cease operations on the weekend of October 26th.

No injuries were reported.
