Earlier, the Telegram channel "Opening and closing restaurants in Moscow" reported on the closure of network points in 2nd Smolensk Lane and on Lesnoy Street. Information about the latter, according to Vedomosti, is already missing on the official resource. Correspondents of the publication checked two other bakeries on Lomonosovsky and Michurinsky avenues. On the doors of both establishments there are announcements about the suspension of activities for technical reasons.

The management company of the bakery chain, Royal Bakery LLC, was declared bankrupt in 2024. Entrepreneur Ekaterina Ivanova is indicated as the contact person of the network for November 2025. According to Vedomosti, obtained from the SPARK-Interfax system, she also owns the Daily Bread - Taganka company. This organization can also be declared bankrupt, since the Moscow Arbitration Court accepted a statement of claim against it for production.

Elena Perepelitsa, CEO of RestCon, highlighted several reasons for the deterioration of the network. Among them are a decrease in product quality, debt to suppliers and the gradual closure of points. Anna Rozhdestvenskaya, head of the Franshiza.ru franchise catalog, pointed to an increase in rental payments at bakery locations, increased competition in the market, increased production costs and the transition of some regular customers to more budgetary formats.^[1]
