Your Stories Q&A: Utica bakery known for its half-moon cookies opening spot in Manlius
MANLIUS, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — You ask, we answer!
We have an update on what's moving into a closed coffee café in Manlius.
If you know about Jelly Bun Month and Moon Madness, then you're familiar with Holland Farms, just outside of Utica in Yorkville.
The owner of Holland Farms, Heather Potrzeba, confirms they are opening up its second location, inside the closed Café Kubal. The unique looking building is located at the Highbridge Road/Fayette Street split.
Portzeba made the annoucement to the Manlius community on Facebook:
'Get ready for 10 plus kinds of half moons, donuts, the best coffee and specialty hot and iced coffee drinks, deli, hot lunch specials and soups, cookies, custom cakes, cupcakes, wedding cakes, dairy products, cannoli's, eclairs, cream pies, cheesecakes, two crust pies, white mountain rolls, fresh Italian bread, tomato pie, and more. We will give it a whirl, duplicating our Yorkville store.'
Potrzeba said they've been looking to expand in the Syracuse area. When she drove through Manlius, she said the former Café Kubal was too good of a location to pass up.
If all goes well with renovations, Potzreba is hoping to open in June. You can follow the Manlius location on Facebook for updates.
The Highbridge Road/Fayetteville Street split has become a popular spot for development. The Starbucks opened at the end of last year, and a Taco Bell Cantina is opening at the former firehouse off Stickely Drive.

Prada Group Bolsters Vertical Integration With Strategic Stake in Rino Mastrotto Group
MILAN — Prada Group continues to invest in Italy's pipeline and in the company's vertical integration. On Thursday, the Italian luxury group said it has acquired a 10 percent stake in leading tannery Rino Mastrotto Group. More from WWD Sabrina Carpenter Teases New Prada Beauty Product in Her 'Manchild' Music Video Patrizio Bertelli, Francesco Milleri, More Fashion Execs Receive Cavaliere del Lavoro Honor in Italy Capri Holdings Plots Turnaround After Steep Q4 Losses Under the terms of the agreement, Prada has taken full control of tannery Conceria Superior SpA and Tannerie Limoges S.A.S., and is contributing in kind 100 percent of the two companies to Rino Mastrotto Group. In addition, Prada is making a cash investment in a minority stake in Rino Mastrotto Group, which allows it 'to strengthen its control over a highly strategic phase of the production process,' said chairman and executive director Patrizio Bertelli. 'Our groups share a passion for quality, innovation and sustainability; we are proud to foster synergies and promote consolidation along the value creation chain and the Made in Italy.' Rino Mastrotto Group is a global provider of materials and bespoke services for the luxury industry. The transaction, which is expected to close between the end of the second quarter and the beginning of the third quarter, contributes to fostering long-term industrial development and reinforces the commercial relationship between the two groups. The agreement 'reflects our ongoing commitment to investing in the luxury segment,' said Matteo Mastrotto, chief executive officer of Rino Mastrotto Group, which is jointly owned by Renaissance Partners and the Mastrotto family. 'Having Prada Group as a shareholder is a testament to a long-standing collaboration built on trust and enhances our industrial vision to ensure sustainable growth.' Rino Mastrotto Group employs more than 1,300 people across five continents and generates a turnover of approximately 360 million euros. Under its umbrella, several companies and brands operate within the luxury segment, including Rino Mastrotto, Basmar, Pomari, Nuova Osba, Tessitura Oreste Mariani and Mapel. The group is also active in the automotive sector through Brusarosco in Italy and Elmo Leather in Sweden, and in interior design through its Italian division, Elmo Leather, the North American distribution branch Carrol Leather, and Imatex in the textile sector. Morelab, a Tuscan company, is a specialized provider of tailor-made services. 'This transaction adds significant strategic and industrial value, further enhancing Rino Mastrotto's equity story and supporting both its growth and consolidation journey,' said Alessio Masiero, partner at Renaissance Partners. Renaissance Partners invests in four sectors: sustainability, information technology, health care and specialized industrials, managing more than 2.8 billion euros, with investments in 12 companies and an aggregate turnover of approximately 6 billion euros. Bertelli has often prided himself for starting back in the '90s to build the group's network of plants that has grown in time to comprise 24 industrial facilities, of which 21 are in Italy, believing in factories 'as families,' creating the group's own pipeline, from product to retail, and investing over the years in protecting Italy's supply chain and small- and medium-sized companies. Among some of the key investments, for example, Prada Group twice joined forces with the Ermenegildo Zegna Group to acquire a majority stake in Filati Biagioli Modesto SpA in 2021, and in 2023 to buy a 15 percent stake each in knitwear and fine yarns specialist Luigi Fedeli e Figlio Srl. In 2022, Prada took a 43.65 percent stake in Superior, based in Santa Croce sull'Arno in the province of Pisa, Tuscany. The company, a leader in calfskin processing, has been active for more than 60 years in the Italian and international markets as a specialized tanner for the luxury sector. And in 2014, it acquired historic French tannery Tannerie Limoges, founded in 1936, relaunching the storied production site, specialized in lambskin tanning and in particular in the tanning of plongé napa leather. In addition, aiming at the integration of a luxury brand, Prada in April confirmed it was acquiring 100 percent of Versace from Capri Holdings for 1.25 billion euros, a transaction which is expected to close in the second half of the year.
