With the redevelopment of its longtime home imminent, Westhampton Pastry Shop is on the move in the West End.

The 74-year-old bakery will relocate in the coming weeks from 5728 Patterson Ave. to 8903 Three Chopt Road.

Co-owner Mark Oley said Thursday that the business had no intention of leaving the Libbie-Patterson area but had to find a new location to make way for its current space to be redeveloped into a 4-story building with three levels of offices above ground-floor retail space.

“If things are redeveloping, you’ve got to move on and make changes that you don’t want to,” Oley said. “The bakery is such an icon in the community, we wanted to make sure that that product is not leaving the Richmond area.”

Oley, along with brothers George and Anthony, bought the Westhampton Pastry Shop in 2016. The siblings also own the nearby Westwood Pharmacy on Patterson and the Westbury Apothecary, which is adjacent to the bakery’s new space on Three Chopt.

The interior of the new shop was still being set up as of Thursday. At about 3,500 square feet, the new spot will be larger than the Patterson space and Oley said they may add a few items to the menu and bring in some new equipment. But otherwise, no changes are planned.

“It’s the same recipes,” Oley said. “We’re not changing anything.”

He added that the bakery will continue to use the Westhampton Pastry Shop name and will still be helmed by Diana Rogers, who with her husband, Guy Rogers, sold the bakery to the Oleys in 2016 and stayed on to run the day-to-day operations.

Oley said they’re hoping to open in the new space in mid-June, ideally without any lapse in service.

The Oleys own the building that the pastry shop is moving into on Three Chopt, while an entity tied to the Robins family owns the Patterson property. Known for being benefactors of the University of Richmond, the Robinses are working on the project with local investor Tyler Currie, who wasn’t immediately available for comment Thursday.

The group began plotting the redevelopment in 2023 and received city approval last year, the same year Westhampton Pastry Shop’s neighbor, gift shop Gild and Ash, moved to the River Road Shopping Center.

The developers have previously said they’d like to have Westhampton Pastry Shop as a tenant at the new building once it’s completed, but nothing’s been finalized. Oley said a return to Patterson isn’t out of the question.

“Everything’s open for discussion,” Oley said. “We’re not going to close any opportunities.”

With the bakery on its way out, work on the Patterson project looks set to begin soon, as earlier this week a site plan was filed with the city for the demolition of the existing building.
