A beloved New Jersey bakery that has long held a place in the hearts of local residents is set to make a triumphant return. McMillan’s Bakery, a staple for generations of families in Haddon Township, will be reopening under the guidance of Tom Whitman, the new owner, alongside baker Doug Biemiller, grandson of the bakery’s original founders. The reopening is planned for early 2026, promising to bring back the cherished flavors and traditions that made McMillan’s a neighborhood favorite.
For decades, McMillan’s Bakery was known for its fresh-baked breads, signature pastries, and community-oriented atmosphere. Many locals recall visiting the shop as children, drawn in by the enticing aromas of freshly baked goods and the warm, welcoming staff. The bakery’s recipes, passed down through the Biemiller family, have been treasured for their authenticity and quality, making McMillan’s more than just a bakery—it was a cornerstone of the community.
Under the new partnership, Whitman and Biemiller aim to preserve the bakery’s historic charm while introducing updates that reflect modern tastes and trends. Plans include an expanded selection of pastries, specialty breads, and seasonal offerings, all crafted using traditional methods and high-quality ingredients. The revival will also honor the bakery’s legacy by maintaining original recipes and baking techniques that have delighted customers for decades.
Community response to the reopening has been overwhelmingly positive, with longtime patrons expressing excitement about returning to a familiar local spot while welcoming new generations to experience McMillan’s. The collaboration between Whitman, who brings business expertise, and Biemiller, who carries the family baking legacy, ensures that the bakery will remain true to its roots while positioning it for long-term success in today’s competitive food market.
McMillan’s revival reflects a broader trend of New Jersey businesses combining heritage and innovation to preserve local culture while meeting modern consumer expectations. The bakery’s return is expected to contribute to the vibrancy of Haddon Township, providing both a nostalgic experience for longtime residents and a new destination for food enthusiasts.
