Bread Ahead keeps its Borough Market bakery after a public lease fight
Both sides' statements: the bakery says it won, the market says nothing changed.
London bakery Bread Ahead says its future at Borough Market is secure, a month after saying its lease would not be renewed because it had become "too successful" for the market, Restaurant Online reports. "In a nutshell, we won't be leaving anytime soon," the bakery said. Founder Matthew Jones opened the original bakery there in 2013; the brand now also operates in Dubai, Saudi Arabia, the US, the Philippines and Thailand.
The Borough Market Trust says its position never changed: chair Shane Holland said an extension to 2028 was first discussed in July and "remained on the table," and Bread Ahead has now accepted it.
