Neighbourhood craft bakery GAILS opening at new sites in Manchester

Neighbourhood craft bakery GAIL’s is opening in Sale next month.

The famed bakery, which serves fresh handmade bread, sandwiches, pastries and cakes, will also boast carefully-sourced house blend coffee and barista-made drinks.

There will be an eat-in area as well as a pantry selling spreads, biscuits, cured meats and more.

And the new bakery in Sale – in the former Slater Heelis building on School Road – will open on November 28, when customers can enjoy the new Autumn range including seasonal treats such as the Apple & Sesame Butter Cake, drizzled with sweet sesame butter and only made with British apples, through to a Mushroom & Caramelised Onion Quiche and Sage & Squash Slice.

GAIL’s was started by Yael (Gail) Mejia in the early 1990’s serving top chefs and food venues in London. In 2003, Tom Molnar and a few friends joined Yael’s premium wholesale craft bakery and grew the business by opening modern neighbourhood craft bakeries that bring communities together to enjoy chef-quality baking.

There are now GAILS in more than140 neighbourhoods across the UK including London, Cambridge, Oxford, Brighton, Bristol, Didsbury and Altrincham, with the very first one opened in Hampstead, back in 2005.

The new Sale spot is the second bakery for the chain in Trafford, following the opening of its Shaw Road store in Altrincham, near the market.

But Prestwich residents are also delighted to hear that GAILS is moving into the area, and will be opening in the new year.

Sarah McRobertson, who lives in Prestwich centre, said: “I’ve seen a few workers around today and one of them was talking about a bakery, which is great news. It’s really up and coming around here especially for foodies – there are a few places opening soon so plenty of options for people and families.”
