Could A New Owner Revive The Wooden Spoon’s Legacy

The Bossier community was devastated when news broke that The Wooden Spoon has officially closed its doors.

After The Bagel Boss Lady team acquired the legendary brand in 2024, the space at 4350 Viking Drive became a revitalized hub. They weren't just serving their "Shreveport-famous" bagels; they were a powerhouse of breakfast catering and the primary supplier for dozens of local mom-and-pop coffee shops.

For a while, it seemed like the perfect marriage of a legendary brand and a classic storefront. However, 2026 has started with a shock for local foodies. In a heavy-hearted New Year’s announcement, the owners confirmed:

"As of the posting of this message, The Wooden Spoon has closed its doors. This closure includes all orders for cookie baskets, pastries, breakfast, and lunch."

While the sudden closure of this Bossier staple leaves a hole in the community, there is a glimmer of hope: The Wooden Spoon is for sale. This is a rare opportunity for a local entrepreneur to step in and own a piece of Bossier history.

The owners have expressed that they are looking for a buyer to take the reins of the business. If you’ve ever dreamed of owning an established community staple with a built-in fan base, now is the time to act. Interested parties are encouraged to message the owners directly via social media for details.
