Mullica Hill's Main Street Shuffle: Who Moved, Who Arrived, and What's Still on the Way

If you stopped at 69 N. Main Street for macarons this fall, you found cookies and cupcakes from a different baker. Amici Bakery hasn't left town. It moved half a mile south. A home-grown cookie business took over its old storefront, and a salon moved out of Amici's new building and headed north. Up the road, a farmhouse in need of restoration is getting ready to become a restaurant.

The chain started when two established Main Street businesses, Amici and Langmore Salon, changed addresses without leaving the street. Their moves freed up storefronts for newcomers. What's changing is where the activity sits. The established bakery moved into the South Main core. Meanwhile, newcomers are filling the North Main blocks between 65 and 72, the stretch that ends at the Knisely House.

The Chain, Address by Address

Here is how the moves line up, in the order they happened.

1. Amici Bakery announces a move. In a June 25 Facebook post, Amici said August 8 would be its last day at 69 N. Main and that it was moving to 35 S. Main Street, according to 42 Freeway.
2. Langmore Salon gives up 35 S. Main. The salon had been in the storefront Amici was taking over, and it is relocating to North Main.
3. Sweets By Abigail Grace moves into 69 N. Main. Its soft opening on September 13 sold out, and the grand opening followed on September 19.
4. Ferrari's Fancy Finds sets a grand opening for Saturday, September 26, on the same North Main stretch.
5. Gigio's Mediterranean Bistro is announced for 72 N. Main, in the restored Knisely House, with a target of fall 2027.

Amici's last day at 69 N. Main was August 8. A new baker sold out of that same storefront on September 13. That's about five weeks, and on a historic Main Street where empty storefronts can sit for a while, that is a fast turnaround.

Why Amici Went South

Amici has been making macarons, cakes, cookies, and cupcakes since 2017. Its best-known item is the macaron, sold in rotating flavors like bananas foster, cinnamon roll, and blueberry lemon, as 42 Freeway reported in July. According to the same report, owner Alexis is a fifth-generation member of the family behind Ralph's Italian Restaurant in Philadelphia.

The new location is a three-story building at 35 S. Main. Amici gets the left-side storefront on the first floor, which has a front porch. Mullica Hill Floral is staying in the building, so a florist and a bakery will share the frontage. 42 Freeway reported that the bigger space would bring more seating, more production room, and more chances to take part in downtown festivals and events.

Amici's own website, as of this writing, lists 35 S. Main as its address. It also carries this notice:

"Please excuse us as we are temporarily closed for renovations. Our new location, 35 South Main Street, will be worth the wait!"

No reopening date has been announced. If you're planning a cake order around a date, check with the bakery first.

The North Main Cluster

The move pulled the macarons into the South Main core. North Main has picked up three newer names on one short stretch.

Sweets By Abigail Grace, 69 N. Main. The Mullica Hill Business Association says the business started with Abigail's love of baking and "edible art." It grew into a following for custom cookies, cupcakes, and other treats before landing in what the association called "a storefront of her very own." The September 13 soft opening sold out.

Ferrari's Fancy Finds. The business association's directory lists the shop at 65 N. Main and announced a grand opening for September 26, 2026. The township's event listing for that opening gives the address as 69 N. Main. Either way, it sits on the same block as the new cookie shop. Call ahead before your first visit to confirm the storefront and hours.

Langmore Salon. The business association's directory now lists Langmore at 68 N. Main. The salon's own site says it is closed while it relocates and calls the new location "coming soon." For now, the safest summary is that Langmore is in the middle of its move to North Main.

So within about seven addresses, from 65 to 72 N. Main, there is a new bakery, a new shop, a salon on its way, and a restaurant under construction. That's a lot of change for one stretch of a historic district in a single season.

The Farmhouse at the Top of the Stretch

The biggest project sits at 72 N. Main, where Ashcroft Lane now meets Main Street. Ashcroft Lane is a new road into the Orchard View community, a 55-and-older development built on farmland that used to belong to the property. The house on the corner is known locally as the Knisely House. 42 Freeway reported that the previous owner, Chris Knisely, is a member of the Harrison Township Historical Society. He appears to have helped shape the sale terms so the house would be preserved and turned into usable space. The outlet also reported that township officials had hoped the restored building would become a restaurant.

Gigio's Mediterranean Bistro will be run by siblings Isabella and Giancarlo, who have worked in the Terra Nova Restaurant family. Gigio's will be their own place. Isabella told 42 Freeway:

"Becoming a part of the Mullica Hill community is especially meaningful to us, as this is a town we've loved our entire lives. We also love what the municipality has in store for the future of MH, and we are really excited to be a part of it."

If you've driven by this summer, you may have seen the first signs. 42 Freeway noted cleanup work at the property and a large new parking lot behind the farmhouse before any restaurant had been announced. Patch also reported the fall 2027 target. That's roughly a year away, so for now the parking lot is the only part you can see.

That timing matters for the stretch below it. Sweets By Abigail Grace, Ferrari's, and Langmore are setting up on North Main about a year before a sit-down restaurant is due to open at the top of their block.

Where to See the New Lineup This Season

Main Street just hosted its biggest weekend of the year. The 54th Annual Fall Festival & Living History Weekend ran October 10 and 11, with Civil War encampments, battle reenactments, Craft Courtyards, and the Ghastly Tales of the Civil War Tour on Saturday night. According to New Town Press, the Harrison Township Historical Society's 24th Annual Ghost Walk started at High Street Delicatessen, 46 S. Main, on October 3.

The calendar from here gives you several chances to walk past the new storefronts.

The business association's October through December calendar ends with the December 5 event. As of this writing it doesn't list a 2026 tree lighting or holiday parade. That doesn't mean they won't happen, only that nothing has been posted yet.

Two of these events happen close to 35 S. Main. Trick or Treat on Main Street puts its treat stops on South Main, and Merry Market sets up at 45 S. Main, a short walk from Amici's new porch. If the renovations are finished in time, the bakery's first big downtown crowds could come from these two events. If not, you can make a loop from the South Main vendors up to 65 through 69 N. Main and see where the newest storefronts are clustering.

Downtown Mullica Hill is home base for the Pat Settar Team, so we're keeping track of these addresses too: when Amici reopens at 35 S. Main, where Langmore lands on North Main, and how the Knisely House restoration progresses toward fall 2027.
