Daphne’s Simply Southern Bakery celebrated the opening of their new location in Mint Hill, NC, with a ribbon cutting and grand opening ceremony last week.

The new location, 7069 Matthews-Mint Hill Road, opened a little more than a month ago, and according to owner Daphne Mullis, business has been booming ever since.

Members of the Mint Hill Town Commission and chamber of commerce were in attendance for the ribbon cutting and grand opening, part of the large crowd that made its way to the bakery for the celebration.

Light refreshments and drinks were served, promotions and door prizes were available, and all the bakery’s confections were available for purchase.

Mullis said the two-day celebration was immensely successful and at the new location, traffic has more than doubled. With more space for baking, for customers, and for parking, the new location has turned out to be a success.

The bakery offers specialty cakes, cupcakes, cookies, breads, pies, brownies and muffins.
