Bread Guy Bakery to Open at Swizzle Market
The Markle, Indiana bakery will sell its baked goods at a Fort Wayne retail location beginning November 3.
Updated on Nov. 1, 2026 in Baking
The Bread Guy Bakery will begin selling its baked goods at Swizzle Market, 4916 Illinois Road, Suite 117, in Fort Wayne starting November 3. Items including bagels, sourdough loaves, focaccia, and pretzels will be available at the location.
Why it matters
The expansion gives Fort Wayne shoppers a new local source for Bread Guy products, which previously could be found mainly at the YNLI Farmers' Market and Ossian's Ginger Fresh Market. The move adds a retail option for residents who do not regularly attend the weekend market.
Swizzle Market bakery sales run Tuesday through Friday from 12 to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., starting November 3. The announcement does not address whether pricing or the product lineup will differ from the bakery's market offerings.

Culture Shift
Small food producers that began at farmers' markets are increasingly adding fixed storefronts alongside those markets. The Bread Guy Bakery's move to Swizzle Market follows that pattern while keeping its existing weekly market sales.
Fort Wayne residents can buy Bread Guy bagels, sourdough, focaccia, and pretzels at Swizzle Market during its posted weekday and Saturday hours without traveling to a weekend farmers' market. The new option gives shoppers a fixed location and set hours for the bakery's products.
The takeaway
Residents who prefer buying from local bakers can now plan purchases around Swizzle Market's set hours rather than depending on a single weekly market. Checking the bakery's Facebook page before visiting can confirm current product availability.

The Bread Guy Bakery's Swizzle Market sales begin November 3, 2026.
