Many months of contemplation regarding the restoration of what had been, almost certainly, the most popular bakery on the lower East Coast Demerara, has finally brought the establishment’s twenty-nine-year-old proprietor, Treon Sobers, to a place where he has finally decided to take the plunge.
He had reached a point, he told the Stabroek Business, where he had begun to contemplate the closure of three of the establishment’s four outlets as reflective of an entrepreneurial ‘weakness’ which, he had found difficult to endure. What had also driven him to rising again was the fact that in his ‘comings and goings’ he continually encountered one-time customers who upbraided him not just for causing them to have to make alternative logistical – and sometimes far from convenient logistical arrangements – to buy bread, but also on account of the fact that his closures had brought on a condition of sacrifice associated with them being denied the range of cakes and pastries for which Sobers’ Bakery had chalked up a well-earned reputation.
