Great Harvest Bread Co - New Owners

This just received in a broadcast e-mail from the owners, announcing a sale of the business:

"It is with mixed emotions that Joan and I announce the sale of our Great Harvest Bakery to Martin and Rebecca McCorkle.
Most important to you is that Great Harvest in Chapel Hill will remain Great Harvest and continue to strive daily to give you the best bread in the Triangle while maintaining a high standard for community involvement.
The final closing of the sale and transfer of operations to Martin and Rebecca is scheduled for the 14th of August.
Martin and Rebecca started their training four weeks ago, but Joan and I will assist them for at least one week to ensure a smooth transition.
It’s very difficult for us, the Krueger’s, to find the words to express our gratitude for your support over the last 5 years. Like any thriving business, Great Harvest is nothing without you. We plan to continue to live in Chapel Hill for the foreseeable future. I will be looking for other employment just so Joan doesn’t have to put up with me around the house.
Other than that, our “retirement plans” are wide open."
