Now 24 years removed from baking his first baguette in Over-the-Rhine, Shadeau Breads owner and baker Bill Pritz is trading in his apron for a long-overdue break with his wife, Charlotte.
Parting ways with his only location at 1336 Main St., flour and all, Pritz recently sold Shadeau Breads to his accountant of 10 years, Brett Arnow, to fulfill a promise he made to Charlotte more than five years ago.
Now 64 years old, Pritz fell in love with baking when he was in his 20s, first as a baker’s assistant at the local Virginia Bakery and later as a student at Dunwoody College of Technology in Minneapolis and the New York Restaurant School in New York City. He worked at bakeries, hotels, restaurants and pizzerias along the way.
