DORO Marketplace Pegged For Old Chip's Site In Wethersfield

WEST HARTFORD/WETHERSFIELD, CT — A popular, European-style bakery that only opened up in West Hartford in 2020 is now, reportedly, expanding into Wethersfield.

According to the Hartford Business Journal this week and the Hartford Courantat the end of last year, DORO Marketplace is expanding with another bakery/eatery/coffee shop at 1301 Sileas Deane Highway, Wethersfield.

The building that will hose DORO is the former Chip's Family Restaurant in Wethersfield, which closed in June 2022 after the death of the small, local chain's owner.

Chip's also closed a restaurant in Southington at the same time.

DORO Marketplace specializes in gourmet coffee and tea (among other drinks) as well as fresh-made pastries, breakfast sandwiches and entrees and lunchtime favorites such as soups and fresh-made sandwiches.

Wethersfield's location would be the third DORO Marketplace, with the flagship store opening in West Hartford in 2020 at 1253 New Britain Ave., West Hartford.

Late last year, as second DORO's opened up in Windsor Locks at 2 National Drive, Windsor Locks.

DORO Marketplace is, actually, part of the DORO Restaurant Group, founded by West Hartford restaurateur Dorjan Puka.

Other upscale eateries in the group include: Treva, Àvert, ABC Artisanal Burger Company and Zohara.
