Campbell's Bakery gets new owners!!! The Jackson favorite issued the following statement:
Campbell’s Bakery, the well-known local bakery and restaurant in the Historic Fondren district of Jackson, has been purchased by Jackson business partners and husband-and-wife duo Mary Sanders Ferriss Cavicchi and Damien Cavicchi.Campbell’s, famous for its petit fours, tea cakes, custom cakes, and other offerings, has been a core part of the Fondren community since its opening in 1962 by Louis and Jessie Campbell. Over the last 60 years, the establishment has served families in central Mississippi with sweet offerings. Mary Sanders and Damien look forward to continuing the tradition with their acquisition of the business.“It’s an honor to be a part of the longstanding history of Campbell’s Bakery,” says Mary Sanders. “As those who love Jackson and its people, this responsibility is more than just a job. It’s a legacy.”The couple are Jackson residents and local business owners. Mary Sanders is the owner of Ferriss & Company, a Jackson-based interior design and branding development firm. Ferriss & Company’s work can be found at local restaurants including Tuk Tuk Boom, Sal and Mookie’s, and Aplos, among others.Damien is a celebrated chef who serves as the Director of Culinary Operations and Executive Chef at the Country Club of Jackson. Campbell’s Bakery is the next step in Cavicchi’s extensive culinary career that includes working as the Executive Chef at the historic Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina, as well as owning Asheville restaurants Clingman Café and Sugo. Cavicchi is thrilled to be bringing his expertise to Campbell’s with new products as well as local favorites.I’ve always enjoyed the way that communities are brought together over food,” says Damien. “Campbell’s is proof of that. We are honored to play a role in Jackson to continue this tradition.”Campbell’s Bakery will continue to be open for normal business hours for the foreseeable future (9 AM to 6 PM Monday through Friday and 10 AM to 4 PM on Saturday) with expanded hours soon. Over the next few months, the bakery will begin introducing a variety of new products to its menu. The Cavicchis plan on temporarily closing for renovations of the restaurant’s interior in January 2023.

Good luck and bless your heart!
I wish them great success!
Those guys are both super talented in their respective fields. This is a win for our city.
That's great news. Time to refresh that bakery. I look forward to patronizing the bakery!!
Campbell's bakery is not a restaurant.
good for this young couple. Hopefully they'll have success and keep this Fondren around for years to come.
Wow, just wow.
They must be investing rain catch barrels and a water distiller.
Donut shops never get robbed.
As long as Mitchell Moore's attitude and penchant for chasing away customers wasn't part of the transferred assets.
I was going to post a smart ass comment, but he seems over qualified to be honest. Best of luck to them.
So nice to read all of the Madison haters. Just because they couldn’t afford an expensive petit four in Madison, they shouldn’t hate on Jackson
Wonder how they'll feel after realizing they jumped with both feet into a full toilet with a busted wax ring. Anyway, hope it works out for you.
I know Damien well. He’s turned everything he has touched into gold and is also an excellent chef. Campbell’s is in good hands. This is one of the few good news stories in Jackson as of late.
I don't know these people. I hope they will operate a good business and do well.
I wonder if the new owners get the Shelby engine.
Hope he knows Fondren doesn't have it's own water supply like the CCJ.
Enjoy your water headaches
I hope they do well. I sure wish someone would have correctly continued to operate ole tyme deli. I loved eating there. Anyone know where you can get Hermmits like they sold at ole tyme?
Sweet!!!
Madison haters? You sound like a hick who buys a knockoff on Canal Street at full price. Spare us, sweetie. Northeast Jerkson is NOT the Upper East Side. Nor does it really want to be. Go away.
I wish them the best of luck.
Suburb resident here, and I wish them success!
I can understand why 2:32 hates us for our reliable utilities and general safety, but I will be happy to give the new owners my 'burb business in spite of such hate.
Good luck guys!
Love me some sweet cakes from Campbells. Anyone know if you can sneak them into the Capri? Popcorn and sweet cakes would be nice while watching a movie!
Just saw the new owner on WJTV saying, "We have a new cake program we want to make more robust." This probably works in Fondren. I'm pretty sure I've never had a piece of robust program cake, but I wish them well.
I wish them all the best but....I'm glad it's not me.
Great! My first birthday cakes (then my children’s) came from this store. I’m so happy to see the business continuing.
Great! Now that Mitchell and his sh*t attitude and politics is gone I can start going back to Campbell’s!
Too bad they don't have water.
Hopefully they won’t follow Mitchell’s go woke, go broke policies.
Are conservatives allowed?
Never could understand the appeal of Campbells - cookies, brownies, muffins, cakes all so much better at Broad Street and Primos.
Great news!
And all the best to them as they take over this Jackson favorite
I wento to High School with Mary Sanders. She'll do well. She's always had a great attitude and an eye for making things work. Congrats, I know my wife is happy it is staying open.
They just need to bring back the kitchen-sink cookies. Best cookies I've ever had.
