Beloved Colorado Bakery Will Close For Good In August

The best donuts I've ever had are going away. Grand Junction's Homestyle Bakery has officially announced they are closing. They will be closing in just nine days and bringing to an end a 75-year success story here in the Grand Valley.

Homestyle owners Walt Schultz and Al Troester moved their bakery to its current location at 925 N. 7th Street in Grand Junction in the early 1970s. In June of 2024, many of us noticed a 'for sale' sign that appeared in front of the business.

Homestyle Bakery is Closing in Grand Junction

It's true. Not only is the Homestyle Bakery building for sale, but the bakery itself is going out of business. Several Grand Junction residents named Homestyle their go-to bakery for birthday cakes, donuts, and even their famous Irish soda bread. Here at the radio station, we can safely say that any day that started with donuts from Homestyle Bakery was far better than the ones that did not.

Homestyle's Last Day

The sign outside the bakery says they are closing on 8-18-2024. This would line up with the Social media post above that says the last day they will be open will be Saturday, August 17th.

Happy Retirement to Homestyle Bakery

Grand Junction loved their cinnamon rolls, their Bavarian beignets, the pecan rolls, the lintzer cookies, the lemon drops, and so much more. We wish the owners a blessed retirement and success to all their employees who helped make mornings a little sweeter. We encourage everyone to stop by the bakery before they close on 8-17.
