Freihofer’s Bakery Outlets in the Capital Region close

ALBANY, N.Y. ( NEWS10 ) — The last of the Capital Region Freihofer’s Bakery Outlets have closed their doors. The locations in Albany, Schenectady, Queensbury, and Nelliston (Montgomery County) have permanently closed.

The Freihofer’s brand is owned by Bimbo Bakeries USA. NEWS10 originally only reached out about the Nelliston location closing.

“After careful analysis and consideration, we made the difficult decision to permanently close the Nelliston outlet store and redistribute product to other locations,” said Bimbo Bakeries USA. “We appreciate all of our associates who worked at these stores and are taking steps to help ease them through this transition.”

Bimbo then confirmed to NEWS10 that several bakery outlets around the Capital Region and New York permanently closed. NEWS10 took a trip over the Albany location on Fuller Road and the Schenectady location on State Street and confirmed they were closed by a sign on the door.

Based on Google and unanswered calls, the Queensbury outlet is also permanently closed. Signs on the doors of the closed locations read: “Sorry, we are permanently closed! Thank you for your patronage and please find our great brands at your local retailer!”

Freihofer’s Bakery Outlet also previously had locations in Troy, Cohoes, Wilton, New Paltz, and Rutland, Vermont. The Troy location closed in 2015, the Wilton and Cohoes locations closed about four years ago, and the Rutland store closed at least two years ago.

Bimbo Bakeries USA also owns Sara Lee, Thomas, Entenmann’s, and Arnold, to name a few. To find Freihofer’s products at your local grocery stores, you can use the product locator on the Bimbo website .
