Bing’s Bakery celebrates long history in Newark by expanding
BY CARLA GUZZI
A LONG HISTORY
Bing’s Bakery is Delaware’s longest continuously running bakery, proudly serving Newark and the surrounding area since 1871. Originally named Fader’s, Gotleib “Fred” Fader founded and delivered baked goods in a horse-drawn wagon and sold from their home’s storefront. Russell and Selena Bing purchased the bakery and renamed it Bing’s in 1946.
In 1996, my husband, Tom and I moved from Staten Island, NY and Tom became the head baker for Bing’s Bakery. We both subsequently purchased the bakery in 2005, proudly deeming Bing’s both a woman- and minorityowned business.
EXPANDING HORIZONS
Here at Bing’s, we offer a variety of homemade baked goods, including custom cakes for all occasions, cupcakes, cookies, and pastries. We are proud to serve families, students, retail customers, and wedding and event venues in our community.
In late 2019, we decided to further expand by opening Bing’s Bake & Brew on South Main Street. The concept for the coffee shop was to include the best of both worlds: the high-quality baked goods that Bing’s is so well-known for, and hand-crafted coffee creations. We recently opened our second Bake & Brew location next to the National 5&10, just a few blocks from our original bakery location on East Main Street.
We are fortunate to be the third family in more than 150 years to continue this historic legacy. We want to extend a big thank you to our wonderful client base; we truly could not be here without you.
