It's official. Jennifer Schmidt has sold the Bridgehampton Country Market. The new owner is Bob Baugh, alumnus of the Sagg General Store. A third party still owns the real estate. Ever since the General Store lease expired last year, Bob has promised that he would open a new market in the immediate vicinity.
After courting everyone from baymen to billionaires, Bob put together a group of 8+ local investors including Dan Rattiner. We are eagerly awaiting the new store. To offer a bit of merchandising assistance we are preparing to send Bob our list of must-haves, just to make sure they will be stocked: Emmi Pink Grapefruit Yogurt, Lurpak Butter, Applegate Farms Organic Bacon, and Blue Duck Baguettes.
The store closes on Tuesday, October 17 and Bob & Company reopen it on Thursday, October 19. Be sure to stop by and say au revoir to Jennifer who is looking extremely relaxed and happy.
