CENTER LINE, Mich. – A popular Metro Detroit bakery is permanently closing its doors after nearly 50 years in business.
After Easter, the owners of the Butter-Nut Bakery on Van Dyke Avenue in Center Line are going to close up shop for good.
The owners said deciding to close the bakery wasn’t easy. Desa Acovski said she has been working the family business with her husband since 1975. She said that while closing is a bit sad, it’s time for them to move on.
“Things do happen in life,” Acovski said. “You do have to move on. You can’t just work until you die and be dragged off, right? We’re gonna relax. We’ve got five grandchildren to look after and hopefully, you know, help raise.”
Customers like Herb Wilson say they will miss Butter-Nut Bakery.
“It’s gonna be terrible,” Wilson said. “The neighborhood -- everybody comes in here. Everybody loves the place. It’s been a staple of the community for decades now, you know?”
Acovski said the doors will close permanently in mid-April.
