Building a Bakery: The Small Stuff You Don’t See

The newest location of TOUS Les JOURS bakery is under construction in Holly Springs, NC, and along with all of the beautiful finishes that future customers will see every day, comes the “behind the scenes” work that gets covered up as soon as it’s inspected. The most recent example of that: the 1,000-gallon grease interceptor and sampling vault installed earlier this month with the help of WACO Plumbing Company and Rowland’s Backhoe Service. As the name implies, the purpose of the grease interceptor system is to separate and contain grease flowing out of the kitchen before it makes it to the sewer system. Without a grease interceptor, the hot, liquified grease can cool down and solidify in the pipes, creating a big mess for everyone upstream of the public sewer.

Located in the Southpark Village Shopping Center in Holly Springs, TOUS Les JOURS is expected to be open for business in late May to early June of 2025. With dozens of other locations across the eastern United States, the French-Asian bakery is already garnering lots of excitement from Holly Springs locals.

This project is being delivered to the Owners through the Design-Build process with Gontram Architecture and Ten Penny Construction.
