Ally & Eloise Bakeshop will relocate from 1556 Main St. – but the bakery isn’t going far. The shop will reopen in a few weeks at 1626 Main St. in a larger space formerly occupied by Agape Pharmacy, which moved to West Columbia.
In the meantime, you can fulfill that sweet tooth craving at the original location at 5209 Forest Drive. www.allyandeloise.com
