The Kandy Bar Bakery in Saltcoats has officially been handed over by former owners Stephen and Rona McAllister to Craig and Lesley McPhie.

The departing owners say they are delighted the business’s legacy will continue with the same staff and bakers working from the Hamilton Street bakery.

They highlighted the importance of protecting around 90 jobs and ensuring the business continues under its new owners.

The bakery has a long history in the town beginning in 1929, when Stephen’s grandfather opened McAllister’s Bakery on Dockhead Street

The business later developed into the bakery known today, with Stephen taking over in the early 1990s.
