Melissa Gardner,
the owner of Five Points Bakery along with her husband Kevin, serves the first
customer on the last morning, Oct. 25, before closing for the next month. Five
Points, located at 426 Rhode Island St., will be closed until the end of
November while the Gardners renovate the bakery’s new location, a 115-year-old building
located across the street at 44 Brayton St. They are expected to reopen in the
new location by Nov. 25. Five Points Bakery, formerly a tenant of Urban Roots, will
now own the space rather than rent it. Customers contributed to the purchase of
the new building by donating $5 to receive a flag with their name on it that
was then displayed on one of the walls of the bakery. By Andrea
