(BALDWIN, N.Y.) – Nassau County Legislature Alternate Deputy Minority Leader Debra Mulé (D – Freeport) thanked Brian and Karen Yee Kee for their service to the community of Baldwin as they closed the doors of George’s Jamaican Bakery on Saturday, June 14. Brian’s parents opened the business in Hempstead in 1989; Brian and Karen bought it from them six years later and moved to Baldwin, where they became well known for Jamaican staples such as warm hard dough bread, beef patties and Karen’s signature banana bread.
“During the last three decades, George’s earned a sterling reputation throughout our region as a destination for authentic Jamaican food and warm hospitality,” Alternate Deputy Minority Leader Mulé said. “I know that this family-owned Baldwin staple will be dearly missed by their many loyal customers – and I wish Brian and Karen all the best as they embark upon their next chapter!”
