M's Bakery is set to open a second location in the Cascade Village Shopping Center in January 2027. The new site will operate as a grab-and-go facility.
Why it matters
The expansion reflects an effort to capture growing customer demand in the northern parts of Bend and Redmond. By shifting to a grab-and-go model, the bakery streamlines its service flow to accommodate higher foot traffic compared to its full-service model.
The expansion adds a second location for the company, which currently operates a single storefront at the Old Mill. This move scales the business from a traditional full-menu model to include a specialized grab-and-go service format.
The players
M's Bakery
A food and beverage operator that is expanding from its original Old Mill location to a second site in Bend.
The details
The new site occupies the former Starbucks space adjacent to World Market, allowing for a high-traffic entry point in the shopping center. Unlike the original location, this facility will limit its menu to toast, parfaits, and oatmeal to maintain service speed. Additionally, the bakery is vertically integrating its coffee supply, implementing in-house roasting using beans sourced from family farms in Veracruz, Mexico.

Market Landscape
The bakery's transition to a limited-menu facility follows the industry trend of focusing on high-efficiency, grab-and-go service models to optimize throughput in shopping centers. This strategy marks a departure from the company's full-service operational precedent in the Old Mill.
Operators in high-traffic retail centers should monitor how this limited-menu, grab-and-go model impacts service speed and labor requirements compared to full-service offerings. Consider evaluating whether your own inventory mix can be streamlined to target the convenience-seeking customer segment.
The takeaway
Expanding to a second location via a restricted, high-speed menu allows the bakery to minimize operational complexity while maximizing customer volume in a new region. Owners looking to scale should track how limiting their product range affects both margin per transaction and daily throughput.
