Chicago's Dinkel's Bakery is closing at the end of April after 100 years in business in the city's Lakeview neighborhood.
"I've always reveled in what it does to someone when they walk in the door here," said Luke Carl, general manager."The smiles it puts on their face to walk in and smell the smells of the cakes or cookies or donuts."
"It has not been an easy process of considering something like this," Carl said."There's a lot of history here and a lot of people's lives are impacted." Dinkel's was opened by German immigrant Joseph K. Dinkel and his wife Antonie in 1922. As their popularity grew, they expanded to the current Lincoln Avenue location in 1932. The business has been passed down four generations to its current ownership.
