Madison Atlanta Bread to Close

The Madison Atlanta Bread Company on Main Street is closing and Tuesday, Oct. 30, will be the bakery cafe's last day, the manager said.

Manager Deborah J. Reynolds said the lease was up and not renewed. Atlanta Bread hopes to open another location in Madison in the future, though no plans to do that have been finalized, she said.

There have been discussions about moving into space in the new Walgreens building, possibly opening in the new location in the spring, she said.

Last month, the Madison Atlanta Bread, which has about 15 employees, posted a sign saying it was not closing amid rumors it was, but Reynolds said she later learned they were closing. They plan to auction the restaurant's equipment.

The sign in September mentioned rumors a Chipotle Mexican grill was going to open in the space. No new word yet on what the plans are.
