The opening date of a Macclesfield's new artisan bakery has been confirmed.

GAIL's will open its doors on Chestergate next Friday, March 7.

The store's website states it will be serving up sourdough breads, pastries, sandwiches, and cakes, alongside their specialty House Blend coffee.

Customers will be able to enjoy all of this in the 'cozy' eat-in area while making use of complimentary wi-fi.

The branch will also feature 'The Pantry', offering a selection of jams, spreads, crackers, biscuits and coffee to take home.

Meanwhile, 'The Fridge' will have everything from cured meats to cloth-bound cheddar, butter and eggs for sale.

Confirmation of the Macclesfield bakery's opening date comes after permission was granted to install new signage at the commercial unit most recently home to PR Jones Jewellers.

On Monday, February 24, Cheshire East Council approved plans for one externally illuminated fascia sign, three projecting signs and one board sign.

The application, submitted by Planning Portal on behalf of GAIL's, states: "The proposed advertisements are of high-quality finish, complementary to the building's façade, and results in no change to the shopfront's existing structure or arrangement, thus ensuring the overall appearance of the site remains unaltered."
