JACKSONVILLE—The village’s beloved bakery closed for the last time on Saturday after more than three years, as the owners decided they were working longer and harder than they wanted to at this point in their lives.
Don and Shelly Phillips left notes on the North River Bakery’s front door, and on their Facebook page, explaining their decision, and thanking customers for all their support over the years.
