New Bakery Opens in Gwinnett County

It's been Lisa Reid's dream to open her own bakery since she was 19, and now that she's accomplished that she's feeling excited that she's doing exactly what she should be doing.

If it's been nothing else, she said it's been a learning experience launching Tiers by Lisa Reid. Working with Gwinnett County was a bit of a challenge, she says, with first filling out applications for the wrong type of food business license.

The city of Lilburn ended up helping walk her through all the ins and outs, and Reid is very grateful. Without them, she said "I probably wouldn't be opening."

Now, the new shop, located at 5514 Lawrenceville Highway, has been open a few short weeks. And, this week it is celebrating its grand opening.

Patch stopped in the shop just before the big week to see why Reid stepped out on faith to pursue her dream.
