Idle Hands Bakery Leave Scott's Addition For Larger Space

RICHMOND, Va. — Here’s something Scott’s Addition doesn’t hear every day: Happy trails.

After less than a year in business, Idle Hands Bread Co. has vacated its 3103 W. Leigh St. bakery in the increasingly popular neighborhood with plans to move in June to a bigger space at 312 Brook Road in Jackson Ward. Owner Jay Metzler said his sales volume is too high for his current 200-square-foot space where he launched his business in December.

“I wasn’t expecting to do this much business in the first year,” Metzler said, adding that he cranks out about 200 loaves of bread a week. “I think it’s going to be a huge step up with volume and foot traffic.”
