Gourmet Cupcake Spot Set to Expand into Chesterfield

"The Cup" has locations in the Central West End and Springfield, MO, as well as Illinois and Tennessee. They're hiring for the West County outlet.

Fans of gourmet cupcakes, which are seemingly the culinary craze of the decade, will be thrilled with the news that "The Cup," an award-winning bakery with a location in the Central West End and four other cities, will be opening a Chesterfield location.

Here's what the owners had to say on their Facebook page:

"The Cup is thrilled to announce that we are opening a new location this fall in Chesterfield. We will release more information as soon as we can, but for now, if you are interested in applying to work at this new location please submit your resume, availability and a paragraph about why you want to work with us to infostlouis@cravethecup.com! Stay tuned!"

The local chain opened its first store in 2007, according to its website. The Facebook page was besieged with favorable comments about the announced expansion.
