Closing the bakery was a difficult decision for Proto management, but they took it to do the much-needed renovations and to change the focus of the business, to also concentrate on the shop and ensure customers witness its growth. 'Proto has long been a part of Alberton and our customers are like family, our opening day was like a huge family gathering,' recalled Moutsatsos. 'We would like to thank everyone for the overwhelming and emotional response and positive feedback since our reopening. Some of our customers pop in just to say 'hello'. We intend to provide our customers with the best possible experience,' added Moutsatsos. Proto opens its doors at 06:00 to 18:00 from Monday to Friday, and 06:30 to 14:00 on Saturdays.
