An iconic Tulsa business is closing its’ doors after eight decades. Ann’s Bakery at Admiral and Harvard will close at the end of July. The granddaughter of the founders, Shannon Harris, says there are many reasons, but mainly it’s because most younger family members have other jobs and people have moved south away from the neighborhood. Also, she says constant construction on nearby I-244 has kept some customers away.
Harris says the bakery will honor wedding cake and special occasion orders through October, but the doors will be closed to customers July 31st. Meanwhile the bakery will stay open Monday through Saturday until closing day.
