Old Town Alexandria is about to get a whole lot sweeter. King Arthur Baking Company — one of America’s most beloved and recognized baking brands — is set to open a permanent retail store and baking school in the heart of Old Town, bringing hands-on culinary education and premium baking supplies to the community.

The new location will serve as both a destination shop for home bakers stocking up on flours, mixes, and specialty tools, and a learning hub where residents of all skill levels can take baking classes and workshops. King Arthur, which has long operated a flagship store and baking school in Norwich, Vermont, is expanding its brick-and-mortar presence, and Alexandria’s Old Town neighborhood was chosen as the site for this exciting new chapter.

The arrival of King Arthur Baking Company adds to a growing wave of distinctive businesses choosing Alexandria as their home. For local baking enthusiasts — and curious newcomers eager to learn the craft — the new shop and school promise a welcoming, flour-dusted gathering place right in the neighborhood.

Details on an opening date and class schedules are expected to be announced as the location prepares to welcome its first customers and students.
