Gladstone Bakery in Elk Grove Village closing at end of month after nearly a century in business

CHICAGO (WLS) -- A popular Chicago-area bakery that's been in business for nearly a century is closing at the end of the month.

The Gladstone Bakery in Elk Grove Village says they're going out of business - because of the impact of the pandemic.

Known for its signature "Bird's Nest" rolled dough delicacy, the bakery was a fixture in Chicago for decades before moving to Elk Grove Village in 2004.
