Bakeries work in Alexandria
Alexandria sits on the Potomac just south of Washington, and the bakery trade here runs on a mix of neighbourhood shops, wholesale suppliers and cake makers working from small units. Old Town draws visitors and office workers into its streets, while the denser residential blocks around Del Ray and Rosemont keep a steady local trade in bread and pastries. Searches for bakeries in Alexandria come from people planning a birthday, a wedding or a christening, from offices ordering morning deliveries, and from households looking for a loaf close to home. The demand is spread across the city rather than sitting in one strip, so the searches carry the name of a neighbourhood as often as they carry the word bakery.
