Growing area bakery chain Black Market Bakers is opening its third store Friday, the business’s fifth anniversary. The Churchton bakery joins locations in Edgewater and Port Annapolis.
The bakery, which started as a food truck, has a rotating menu of breads and pastries. This week’s features summer flavors, including a blackberry citrus Danish pastry and hummingbird cake, which is a spiced fruitcake.
Word of the new bakery’s opening date came via a Facebook post Tuesday. It’s one of two additions the bakery revealed earlier this year, the other being the West Street location in Annapolis, set to open this fall. One of the bakery’s family owners, Tom O’Leary, has been in the Anne Arundel County restaurant business for over 50 years. He opened and operated several Chevy’s Fresh Mex locations, among others. Tom O’Leary and co-owner Steve O’Leary did not immediately respond to a request for comment Thursday.
According to Schwartz Realty, the building, at 5451 Deale Churchton Road, was built in 1930 and purchased by Black Market Bakers in December for $353,000. The property was previously home to the Wagon Wheel Restaurant, which closed days before the building was purchased.
Notably, Tom and Steve O’Leary made it to the finals in a 2021 season of the Peacock Series “Baking It.”
