After four decades of serving the community, Birzebbuga’s beloved Arthur & Sons Bakery & Confectionery is closing its doors.

Brothers Charles, Simon, and Mark, who have been the driving force behind the bakery, shared the bittersweet news on social media, expressing their gratitude and reflecting on the legacy of their father, who founded the business.

‘After 40 years of dedicated service to our customers, we decided that it is time for a new chapter. We will always be grateful for the years we shared with our loyal customers, many of whom remember us opening the bakery. We would like to sincerely thank you for believing in our products and in our service.’

They explained that with their children now grown and pursuing their own paths, the time had come to say goodbye.

‘Thanks to our Dad’s vision, for the past 40 years we have worked at the bakery and raised our 3 families together. Now that all our children have grown up and have chosen a different path, we have decided that it is time to say goodbye’.

The news was met with heartfelt messages from the community, with many expressing gratitude for the bakery’s years of dedicated service and contributions to local organisations. Residents acknowledged the bakery’s place in Birzebbuga’s history, with some finding it difficult to put their emotions into words, while others wished the brothers a peaceful and restful future.

You will be missed!
