Food Notes: Dozen Bakery plans relocation

The owner of Wedgewood-Houston’s Dozen Bakery is eyeing an early 2025 relocation to Woodbine.

Claire Meneely will move her business to a building, which most recently housed Checkpoint Card Group and is now vacant, located at 2522 Grandview Ave. One block to the east is Nolensville Road.

Terms of the lease with the ownership group and the cost to make the move and get operational have not been disclosed.

A release notes the 15,000-square-foot building will accommodate 60 customers and more than 5,500 square feet of baking and cooking space. This will provide "much larger" production capacity, with the expansion of the business expected to yield an additional 10 to 15 full-time employees, according to a press release. 

Meneely, who started her business as a pop-up in 2009, said in the release that during the past nine years, Dozen’s sales have increased 500-plus percent.

Dozen Bakery operates at 516 Hagan St.

“The bigger location has become necessary for Dozen to meet increasing demand for its products and accommodate more customers in its cafe space,” she said. “By moving just two miles down the road, the bakery hopes to maintain ties with the customer base that loyally supported it in Wedgewood-Houston.”

Nashville’s Centric Architecture is handling the design and build-out of the space.
