March 17, 2022 – Slinger, WI – The news is Slinger, WI, 310 E. Washington Street, is hitting the community like a Mack Truck as Derek Van Alstyne, owner of Sweet Creations Village Bakery, is announcing the store’s closing.
Two white boards perched on an easel greet shoppers at the entrance to the store and detail the closing of the business and liquidation sale to follow.
To Our Valued Customers.
There is an accepted offer to purchase on the building with the final sale to be held mid-April. I would like to thank you for 22 years of service. It is time for the next chapter of my life. The final day of business for Sweet Creations Village Bakery will be Sunday, May 8, 2022, Mother’s Day.
I ask that all gift cards be used on store purchases before May 8, 2022. Any cards not used before then will be VOID, with no cash value.
Thank you all again for all the years.Â
