Hewn Bakery Seeks Tax Break for Expansion

The owners of Hewn Bakery will seek Evanston City Council approval Monday to request a property tax break from Cook County to help fund their expansion into a nearly century-old building on Central Street.

The bakery, owned by Evanston residents Ellen King and Julie Matthei, opened in 2013 with five employees in a 1,200 square foot space at 810 Dempster St.

It has since doubled its space at the Dempster site and the owners say their staff has grown to 25 employees.
