Honoring what came before

The Edgewood Bakery Legacy

Edgewood Bakery opened in 1947 and became a beloved Murray Hill landmark. Gary and Sandy Polletta operated the bakery from 1992 until their retirement in 2014, and the bakery closed in March 2016.

Community First purchased the site in October 2024. After hearing how strongly residents wanted a warm food experience to return, the credit union partnered with Arble, a Black family-owned bakery with deep Jacksonville roots.

“We definitely want to pay respect and homage to the legacy that is in place while bringing to the table a family that has been part of Jacksonville for three generations.”
Alonza Anderson, Arble co-founder

Community First + Arble

Designed for the Neighborhood

The new branch is being shaped as a place to bank, eat, gather, and remember the history of the site.

A permanent food feature

A fully equipped space where Arble can serve baked goods, desserts, sandwiches, and more.

Room to gather

A shaded front lawn, outdoor social area, and community room for neighborhood events.

History preserved

Restored elements from Edgewood Bakery, including its neon sign and neighborhood memories.

Built with community

A partnership shaped by Murray Hill residents and their desire for a welcoming food experience.

From Dunn Avenue to Murray Hill

What Arble Will Bring

The Murray Hill location will carry the scratch-made baked goods, desserts, artisan sandwiches, and catering favorites Jacksonville has come to know at Dunn Avenue.

Arble also plans to invite the neighborhood to help name a signature oversized club sandwich with ham, turkey, roast beef, bacon, and cheese on artisan bread.

Projected hours reported in press coverage are Monday through Friday, 11 AM to 5 PM. Opening hours have not been confirmed.
