On June 25th, the Kalona Bakery was affected by a fire that has kept them closed since. According to the Kalona Chamber of Commerce, owners Jonathan and Stephanie Troyer and their staff have begun the cleanup process, with the goal being to rebuild and reopen the bakery at the current location as soon as possible. Chamber Director Craig Vasey said they’re still in a holding pattern, and although they’ve been released by the fire marshal, there’s still a few hiccups with insurance companies. He spoke with the owners and they told him they have no definite date for when they’ll reopen. The Kalona Bakery will not be taking part in the vendors representing the city at the Iowa State Fair this year.
