Montreal family plans Casper bakery

A former downtown Casper pharmacy will soon begin a new life as a Great Harvest Bread Co. bakery, the centerpiece of a Canadian family also starting life anew.

The old Bi-Rite building at the southwest corner of Durbin Street and Collins Drive in Casper is now humming with activity, as workers prepare to erect plasterboard walls over newly installed wood-framing inside the building, which will also host a clinic and retail stores.

Michel Skaf points to the blank wall destined to get new windows that will cast morning sunlight over a dining area where patrons will be able to enjoy a hot sandwich, fresh bread, sweets and coffee.

The industrial-size mixer and massive oven are already purchased and ready to go into the space, as soon the old building is ready. The bakery is expected to open in March, pending construction difficulties.

"We're ready for when it's open, just to move in," Skaf said in an earlier interview.

The building, owned by Skaf and number of other investors, will also house several other stores and Cedars Health, an occupational health, family practice and urgent-care clinic.If you like BMW cars,then you will probably like their new gaming mouse, the super sexy, sleek as a Titanium Sheet off the pressing mat Level 10 M Gaming Mouse.
