NORTHFIELD – Formica Brothers Bakery and Café in Kensington Square Center on Tilton Road has closed, and there are no plans for it to reopen, according to owner Frank Formica. Opened in 2008, the bakery and café was a spinoff of the Formica Brothers Bakery on 2310 Arctic Ave. in Atlantic City operated by his family since 1919. The Northfield shop sold sandwiches, baked goods including rolls, artisan breads and Italian specialties, and occasionally offered live music. A sign went up on the door Monday announcing the closing.
“Honestly, it was a business decision, and it was a very difficult one to make for us,” Formica said Wednesday morning. “We knew over the last two years the numbers were trending in a bad direction, and with me being a diehard businessman, I wanted it to work. But as every smart businessperson knows, it does come to a point where you realize what you have to do to keep your business healthy.”

Richard Sykora of Pitman installed a lot of those ceilings and blinds. When business slowed for his employer, Sykora was laid off. His response to that, according to his son Greg Sykora, was to go around and see if he could pick up work installing blinds to the smaller end users – local restaurants and homes.
