A well-known Saltcoats bakery, Kandy Bar Bakery, is sold after its long-time owners retire. Daily Record (Scotland) and The Herald Scotland both report that the current owners’ decision to step back brings an end to a decades-long chapter.
Across the coverage, the details are focused on the transition in ownership and the timing tied to retirement. The Herald Scotland specifies that Stephen and Rona McAllister have been in business for more than 50 years and that the bakery is being bought by Craig and Lesley McPhie. Daily Record (Scotland) similarly highlights the retirement plan and the sale, but stays more general about the individuals involved.
Overall, both outlets agree the story centers on a leadership change at a local bakery, with the retirement of the existing owners prompting the business handover.
