Overview

  • The Homestead landmark will reopen in late fall at 16790 SW 177th Ave. on Sam S. Accursio & Sons Farms property about seven miles north of its original site.
  • Co-owners named in coverage include Joel White and Sunil Bhatt, part of a group of Miami investors that acquired the business.
  • The team says it will use the same recipes, bakery equipment, and techniques—down to matching water pH—to preserve taste and consistency.
  • Operations will modernize by accepting credit cards, opening on Sundays, and adding an oven to increase production and reduce wait times.
  • The Knaus family will advise as consultants, longtime general manager Thomas Blocher will serve as kitchen consultant, and existing staff have been offered continued roles.
