Missy Gaither who runs Missy’s Cupcakes, Cookies, and More is opening up her own bakery storefront in Atlanta at the old Palm’s Grill Cafe venue. Missy got the lease on May 1st  and the bakery will be open for business come the beginning of June. Missy has run Missy’s Cupcakes, Cookies, and More for 10 years and up until she acquired the lease in Atlanta, she has run the business out of her home. Missy used her Facebook page to take orders and would then deliver the orders to her clients or have them pick them up. Now that she will have her own storefront she won’t have to run around delivering orders which will save her a lot of time. There will also be a wider variety of flavors of cupcakes and cookies with the opening of the storefront and she will offer a Route 66 cookie as well.

Missy was featured in a Business Spotlight in the fall of last year and one of the goals Missy spoke about was her hope to “grow [her] business and someday have a storefront”. Now that she has accomplished one of her big goals Missy described it as exciting and that it “doesn’t feel real yet”. Her goal now with the opening of the storefront is to broaden what she offers now with the same quality. She wants to “continue to make her current customers happy” and “looks forward to meeting new ones on the path of Route 66”.

There is still some work to be done before Missy is finally able to open the doors of her bakery. She still has to move stuff over from her house to the bakery, order supplies, and hire employees to help out around the bakery. Watch out for the bakery’s official opening come the beginning of June and be sure to stop by for some delicious sweets.
