Fleckenstein's Bakery Expanding with New Lenox Location
The Mokena store will remain the bakery's flagship, with the new location expected to open in the fall.
Fleckenstein’s fans, rejoice!
The Mokena bakery made mouths water Tuesday, with its announcement of a second location coming soon to New Lenox.
“We have fantastic news to share!” wrote staff on the bakery’s Facebook page. ”Fleckenstein’s Bakery will be expanding to a 2nd location in New Lenox! We are happy to be part of the Village’s redevelopment of the downtown train station area.”

In June, the Village of New Lenox began assembling a swath of land alongside the Metra station near U.S. 30 and Cedar Road, to turn over to a developer to craft a “quaint downtown.” The properties included the BP gas station, the onetime House of Hughes property, the Pit Stop bar, and a former dry cleaner’s. It’s unclear which of these Fleckenstein’s will occupy.
The Mokena location, 19225 La Grange Rd., will continue to be the store’s flagship, ”but we will be producing fresh bakery products in both locations.”
