Longtime owners of TREATS in Wiscasset village, Stacy and Ryan Linehan, have announced the following:

"It is with great joy and a little bit of mixed feelings that Ryan and I have sold TREATS! 

"It is our 20-year anniversary to this day and we are so excited that an amazing couple from Edgecomb are stepping in to take the helm of this amazing and iconic bakery and community space! Though we will miss the daily energy of our customer base it is time for some new growth both personally and for TREATS. I believe the new owners will provide the energy needed to move TREATS forward. Many of our staff will be staying on to help ease this transition and I will certainly be around.

"Joeseph Swifka and Emily Hughes have over 20-plus years in the food and retail industry. Their knowledge of wine, cheese and food is rooted in local community and sustainability. They have both currently been at Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens in Boothbay.  

"Joe was the head chef and Emily was in the garden shop.

"If you are traveling with me in 2026 there are no changes in that area, only that my trip offerings will expand! 

"Again it has been a great pleasure in serving this community through food and a joyful space. Please welcome the new owners to the community!
