A NEW bakery chain has officially opened the doors of its 13th store.

Reeve the Baker, which was established in 1952, has opened its new branch in Wimborne. 

The new store replaces Café Aroma which has now moved next door to Reeve in Wimborne High Street.

The company has stores in Blandford, Sherborne, Ringwood and Shaftesbury as well as other bakeries across Somerset and Hampshire.

A spokesperson for the bakery said: “We are delighted to have opened our new shop on the High Street in Wimborne Minster today.

“We are very proud to be able to join the local Wimborne community and believe that our artisan bakery products will compliment the vibrant blend of local and national retailers already present in Wimborne.

“For those who don't know us we are a family owned and run artisan bakery based in Wilton, Wiltshire where we make award winning sourdough bread, cakes and buns fresh every day.

“Whether you are looking for breakfast or a quick coffee, a small snack or lunch, a sourdough loaf or a cake to take home we hope we will have something for you. We really look forward to being part of Wimborne Minster for many years to come and welcoming you to our bakery.”
