Providence, RI – Sin Bakery, a beloved neighborhood bakery that has been a fixture on Westminster Street for 24 years, is closing its doors. Owner Jennifer Luxmoore announced an “all must go” sale to give residents a chance to take home pieces of the bakery’s history.
Sale details and community invitation
The sale will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on November 6, 7, 20 and 21. Luxmoore said the event will include a wide range of items, from baking supplies and furniture to decorations and other bakery‑related goods. “I like thinking that they’re taking little pieces in,” she explained. “We live on through the little pieces that people are taking.”
From custom cakes to a full retail experience
When Luxmoore first opened Sin Bakery, the focus was on custom cakes for special occasions. Over time, the shop expanded its offerings to include a retail line of plated desserts, pastries, and everyday baked goods. “Being a part of the hospitality industry in Rhode Island has been amazing,” Luxmoore told NBC 10. “Rhode Island just has incredible chefs and an incredible community, and being a part of that has been near and dear to my heart.”
Legacy of a local institution
Sin Bakery has become more than just a place to buy sweets; it has served as a gathering spot for families, friends, and local events. Its closure marks the end of an era for many Providence residents who have celebrated birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays with the bakery’s creations.
Luxmoore hopes the closing sale will not only clear out inventory but also allow the community to preserve a tangible piece of the bakery’s story. By purchasing equipment, décor, or even a few leftover treats, longtime patrons can keep the spirit of Sin Bakery alive in their own kitchens.
What’s next for the space?
While the future use of the Westminster Street location has not been announced, Luxmoore expressed optimism that another local entrepreneur may eventually fill the vacancy, continuing the tradition of small‑business vitality in Providence’s downtown area.
Residents interested in the sale are encouraged to arrive early, as items are expected to sell quickly. For more information, contact Sin Bakery directly at the Westminster Street address.
