New Bakery, Unique Car Dealership Open In Stratford

STRATFORD, CT — A new bakery and a unique car dealership recently opened on Barnum Avenue in Stratford.

Mayor Laura Hoydick and other town officials welcomed Cakes by Sonia and CARite to Stratford with joint ribbon-cutting ceremonies on Tuesday.

Sonia Diaz, the owner-baker for Cakes by Sonia, said she is a self-taught baker who “always pictured herself in Stratford.”

“Sonia serves up fresh-baked treats at her charming new bakery located at 2067 Barnum Avenue,” reads a post on Hoydick’s Facebook page. “Sonia lends her creative flair and baking talents to the creation of custom cakes and cupcakes, and has already become a main attraction in Town.”

CARite

Stratford is the newest of the CARite family of used car dealerships and the second in Connecticut. The CARite approach is unique: they do not employ commissioned sales people. Rather, they provide "a transparent car buying experience without the haggles."

Store Leader James Kellerman and staff provided guests with a tour of the impeccable CARite showroom, lined with a variety of pristine late model vehicles.

CARite is located at 2095 Barnum Ave.

“We welcome Cakes by Sonia and CARite to the Stratford community!” Hoydick wrote.
