Two Adel food establishments, Brick Street Books and Cafe and River to River Bakery and Pizza, will merge this month and expand their offerings. Both restaurants are Raccoon Forks microbusinesses owned and operated by Optimae LifeServices. The restaurants help individuals break down barriers to employment as an extension of Optimae’s supported employment program. Brick Street Books and Cafe opened its doors in 2011, and River to River Bakery and Pizza (formerly Brick Street Bakery) opened in 2016. “We have extended our hours and menu options, and look forward to serving the community at River to River Bakery and Pizza in our expanded indoor dining area or patio,” said Will Dodds, director of Raccoon Forks Businesses. “We appreciate all of the support Adel has given us, especially over the past year.” The restaurants will merge under one roof at the River to River location, 109 N. Ninth St. on the courthouse square in Adel. To learn more, visit www.raccoonforks.com.
