After a year of speculation about a new home or if they would close completely, the owner of Paradise Bakery said late Monday the iconic Aspen bakery will stay in its current location.<\/p>\n

The bakery on the corner of Galena Street and Cooper Avenue in the Volk Plaza has been a downtown gathering place for locals, tourists and others since it opened there in 1981.<\/p>\n

In May 2019, The Aspen Times first reported<\/a> of the potential change after Patterson and his landlord, the Hecht family, could not come up with a new lease and that neighboring tenant Loro Piana, a high-end clothing company based in Italy, would expand into the bakery spot.<\/p>\n

The lease was not set to expire until October 2021, Patterson told The Times last year.<\/p>\n
