The Miatellos, owners of Huron Apothecary, officially took over the business on April 19 and will soon be changing the name to Exeter's Homestyle Bakeshop. Helen Miatello told the T -A that Exeter needs a bakeshop at the south end of Main Street and, after hearing Huron Apothecary customers say they were feeling bad about Tasty Nu's impend- ing closure, she and her husband decided to buy the business. "I hated to see it close," Miatello said of Tasty Nu, adding that former own- ers Doug and Ruth Desch will continue rt: nning their, "Pasty Nu locations in Zurich and Sediorth. The Oeschs will also continue supplying the baked goods to the Exeter location. Miatello said business is strong at Tasty Nu and said there will be minor changes to the business such as an expanded lunch menu. Basically, though, she said the busi- ness will remain the same, with the new Exeter Homestyle Bakeshop sign up in a couple of weeks. The decision to buy "tasty Nu came quickly .for the Miatellos, Helen said. They had only been thinking about it since late March, but said it's important to keep down- town stores full. She added they only considered buying the business because the Iluron Apothecary, which the Miatellos have owned for 10 years, is next door. . And while the Miatellos are the new owners of the business, with Helen doing the bookkeeping, they have a manager who will oversee the day- to-day operation of the business. Miatello added that Exeter customers have been loyal and the bake shop will continue to offer good service. "Service is very impor- tant to us," she said. Helen and Ernie Miatello, owners of Huron Apothecary, stand in their new business,Tasty Nu, which wilt soon be changing its name to Exeter's Homestyle Bakeshop. Helen said the couple bought the bakery because they didn't want to see the store sit empty.
