Last year, Cacia’s Bakery was forced to shutter its Audubon storefront amid an ongoing groundwater contamination issue that eventually led to its demolition by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. On Tuesday, the 71-year-old South Philadelphia bakery opened its latest South Jersey location some two miles down the road in Haddonfield.

“We always wanted to move on our own will, but DEP took control,” said Steven Santore, who co-owns the Haddonfield and Cherry Hill Cacia’s Bakeries with his partner, Leonard Guerriero. Santore said that he and Guerreiro didn’t have to spend much time deciding to move on the storefront at 26 South Haddon Avenue in Haddonfield. The fit-out, however, was another matter altogether.
