A new chapter: La Bakery

The Abercorn Bakery closed its doors this summer, after serving the community for more than 40 years. Bread, croissants, conversations, the routines people counted on — this place fed Abercorn for four decades, and we want to take a moment to say thank you, Georges.

We're also taking this opportunity to tell you what's coming next for the building. Construction Rocket, based in Abercorn since we founded the company in 2012, has purchased the building, and we intend to honour its history by renaming it La Bakery.

Our offices will be moving in, but we want La Bakery to be more than a workplace for our team. We're setting up an open, flexible coworking space that others working in Abercorn will be able to join. Although the building is changing hands, we want it to remain a welcoming space rooted in the community — somewhere people can run into each other, chat, catch up, and help keep village life vibrant.

That's why we're setting aside space at the front for a small business, a project that could welcome community members and make La Bakery an inviting space where people can drop in.

We're open to all sorts of ideas. If you have a project that could find its home here, please write to us at bakery@constructionrocket.com.

We can't wait to see what comes next for La Bakery, together with all of you.
