Andy Zuckerman has managed Flatbush Junction’s Lords Bakery for 30 years since he graduated from Brooklyn College. Andy has seen many customers coming into the bakery this week with Target bags. Zuckerman, when asked if the “mom and pop” local businesses might suffer from the opening of the new Target, said he thought perhaps the retail clothing stores would feel the pinch, but as far as baked goods, they can’t beat Lords’ Red Velvet Cake.
too bad Lords can’t make a “fresh” photo birthday cake.
After two separate purchases with the same result of stale cakes, i’ll try my luck at the Target.
Went to targert with my daughter & grandson on 3/9/08. When we were ready to leave, the elevator was broke & we had to go through the garage and walk around & around to get out. Great 1st day for us.
I’ve been getting my sugar fix at Lords for 20+ years, no place I’ve ever tried holds a candle to it! I’ll buy my clothing at Target, but my cakes will always be from Lords…
Target might be the place for clothes or groceries, but it will never beat Lords’ selection of fine baked goods, or personable employees. As a long-time patron of Lords, all I can say is “let them eat cake”!
