Why Schneider's Bakery why was this picked

Schneider's has run its Uptown Westerville storefront at 6 S State St for more than 64 years, and Jeff Hamler, who started working there in 1974, became part of its long story. The bakery opens at 6 a.m. Monday through Saturday, closing at 3 p.m. Monday and Saturday and at 6 p.m. Tuesday through Friday. All bread is made from scratch with no preservatives. Its house classic is a soft double chocolate cookie studded with chunks, and cake orders go online, by phone or at the counter.
