Running a small business like ours has been a labor of love, and passion but it has also taken a significant toll on our personal relationships, mental health, and overall well-being. Running a well oiled bakery like ours is not for the faint of heart. There are so many rewarding aspects but there are also so many struggles involved in running a bakery like ours, and the constant pressure to keep up with ever increasing food and goods costs have made it nearly impossible to function for us to maintain a healthy work-life balance.

Maggie Moose Bakery & Gourmet Gift Boutique is Closing 

Maggie Moose Bakery is located along a popular stretch of Route 70 in Medford, Burlington County.

Candy Vargas-Thibeau grew up in the area but moved with her family to Canada.

That's where she opened her first store outside Toronto.

Her friends encouraged her to move back to New Jersey and open a store here, according to Patch.

The store in Medford opened in 2021. They say closing a business can be very tedious.

It can be overwhelming as well, so we request that when you come in over the next few weeks, we keep it positive and look on the bright side, because there definitely is always a bright side! That’s the foundation of Maggie Moose!

Maggie Moose Bakery is expected to close at the end of September.
