It all started with Gold Ribbon Confections, a bakery founded in honor of owner Maurice Ahern’s son, Micah Ahern. In July 2016 Micah earned his wings after a six year battle with cancer. Since Gold Ribbon was founded, it has always been a dream of Maurice’s to expand his current bakery to a brick and mortar, café-style location that would focus on benefiting the community. Desiring to fulfill his dream and keep his late son’s legacy alive, Maurice partnered with family members Jenifer and Jimmy Kinley to create Grounds and Gold, a community café which will proudly serve Gold Ribbon Confections’ highly sought after baked goods.
