Saugatuck Commercial Real Estate secured two new retail locations for Kneads Bakery Cafe in Fairfield and Greenwich, CT

Fairfield, CT Saugatuck Commercial Real Estate (SCRE) has secured two new prime retail locations for Kneads Bakery Cafe in Fairfield and Greenwich, CT. The multi-city expansion marks a major milestone in the long-term partnership between SCRE and the growing artisanal brand.

SCRE, which helped founders Daniel and Brittany Moreno secure the site for their flagship Westport bakery in 2020, continues to serve as the exclusive real estate partner guiding the brand’s growth.

On October 10th Kneads officially opened the doors to its newest Bakery Cafe at 1916 Post Rd. in Fairfield. Known for its distinct approach to baking – including milling its own heirloom flour in-house – the new Fairfield location introduces a strategic, collaborative kitchen model to meet growing regional demand. The Fairfield site will handle all bread production for both locations, while the original Westport cafe shifts its focus exclusively to pastry production, maximizing efficiency without sacrificing quality.

Looking ahead, SCRE has secured Kneads’ third location at 32 Railroad Ave. within Greenwich Crossing, a high-profile TOD redevelopment transforming the area immediately surrounding the Greenwich train station. Positioned at a vital transit and pedestrian hub in one of Fairfield County’s most affluent communities, the upcoming cafe will serve residents, visitors, and daily commuters alike.

“There’s something uniquely rewarding about helping an entrepreneur secure their very first location and then watching that vision grow into a thriving multi-unit business,” said Penny Wickey, principal of SCRE. “We have worked with Daniel and Brittany since the very beginning. To facilitate their expansion into Fairfield and the highly anticipated Greenwich Crossing project is a testament to their exceptional craftsmanship and strategic vision. It is an important success story for our Emerging Brands Development platform.”

This may seem self-serving, and I’ll be the first to admit it. But unlike some of the artificial intelligence tools now reshaping our industry, I am fully aware of my own bias. So, hear me out. The rise of AI in commercial real estate is not a distant threat or a speculative headline.
