BRADENTON — Construction has begun for the new Flowers Bakery on Ninth Street East.
Parent company Flowers Foods bakes and delivers popular brands like Wonder Bread, Cobblestone, Nature's Own and more, as well as snack pastries. The site will feature a new warehouse and distribution center, as well as a discount retail store in the 700 block of Ninth Street East.
"It will look like a throwback movie theater, like something you would see in Miami," said Planning and Community Development Director Tim Polk.
Flowers Food could not be reached for comment on a construction timeline or an estimate on how many local jobs would be created.
