Crack O' Dawn Is Moving To Central Downtown

Back on March 14, 2026, Waynesboro.Com reported that the building where Crack o' Dawn is located had gone up for sale, and the future of the bakery / bistro was in question.

Now, the question has been answered: they are moving a few blocks east and will be next door to the Art Center, in the 414 West Main Street location that just gained a new mural.

This should be a good move for the business and a benefit for downtown. Having a retail bakery & bistro within walking distance of the other downtown businesses means that hungry shoppers have another place to stop and restore themselves.

I recall from several other businesses that have operated in that spot that it is more spacious than their previous location. With the right atmosphere, this could become an excellent hangout.

It is also good to have one fewer vacant store fronts on Main Street. Others are likely to join them.

Now, we have a new question: What will be moving into their old location, the spot where the original Stone Soup Books was located at 908 West Main Street?

AIN'T NO GROOVIN' TONIGHT

REMINDER: There's no Groovin' At The Greenway concert tonight because the Dooms Volunteer Fire Company, Inc. Carnival is in the Advance parking lot. See you next Thursday for the next concert.
