Aug 10, 20161 min read

Kneaders Bakery & Cafe was welcomed to Tucson last year, and is happy to announce the official opening date of their second Tucson location.

Located in atĀ 3570 N. Craycroft Road, the restaurantĀ is scheduled to open Friday, August 19.

Kneaders is planning a grand opening to celebrate, takingĀ place August 19 and 20. The first 100 guests who enter the new Kneaders restaurant will win an order of Chunky Cinnamon French Toast — two pieces of french toast with strawberries, whipped cream, and homemade caramel syrup.

In addition to free French toast, 10% of all sales throughout the weekend will be donated to Tucson schools.

After the grand opening, all leftover bread at the end of each day will be donated to Casa de Los Niños, an organization helping children in need.

The new restaurantĀ brings aroundĀ 50 new jobs to Tucson. The store operator of the new Kneaders location is a resident of northern Tucson himself.

ā€œMy entire career has been in the hospitality industry,ā€ store operator Chase Clark said. ā€œIt is now my pleasure to serve the area I call home.ā€

ā€œThis neighborhood is a vibrant community and our team intends to add to the development and livelinessā€¦ā€ he said. ā€œI look forward to providing a place that feels like home to all our guests.ā€

Kneaders is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The menu offers 14 types of bread made from scratch, sandwiches, salads, soups, and over 40 typesĀ of pastries. Each Kneaders location offers a similarĀ menu.

The new location will be open Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.

The first Kneaders location openedĀ at 135 S. Wilmot Road. Kneaders offers seventeen locations in Arizona all together.
