The Republic reports that Nothing Bundt Cakes in Columbus, located at 3052 Columbus Center, announced a community grand opening next week in a story published 2026-10-11. The bakery said it opened on Sept. 12 and plans a ribbon‑cutting with the Columbus Chamber of Commerce on Thursday at 4:30 p.m., plus a Saturday giveaway where the first 50 guests ages 18 and over will receive a “Free Bundtlets for a Year” punch card.

The baker outlined a week of Community Appreciation Days: Monday through Thursday offer a free Bundtlet with purchase for designated groups (Monday — health care workers; Tuesday — teachers and school staff; Wednesday — first responders and military; Thursday — city employees), with a badge/ID or uniform required to receive the offer. Friday is listed as a Bartholomew Consolidated School Foundation benefit day, when 20% of sales will be donated to benefit BCSC schools. Store hours are Monday–Saturday 9 a.m.–7 p.m. and Sunday noon–5 p.m.

WHY IT MATTERS

This announcement matters to Columbus residents, municipal employees, school staff and local nonprofits because the bakery’s grand‑opening events combine customer promotions with a community fundraising element. The planned weekday appreciation offers give specific groups a short, ID‑verified incentive to visit the store during designated days; those offers require presenting a badge, ID or wearing a uniform, so recipients should bring proof to qualify.

The Friday benefit day directs a portion of sales to support local schools: the bakery says 20% of sales that day will be donated to benefit BCSC schools and that Friday is a Bartholomew Consolidated School Foundation benefit day. For community members who want to support the fundraiser without waiting for a single day, the announcement signals when fundraising proceeds will be collected and could shape plans to buy from the store on that specific day.

Practical next steps to watch: the planned ribbon‑cutting on Thursday at 4:30 p.m., confirmation of the giveaway logistics for the first 50 adult guests on Saturday, and whether the store follows the posted weekday schedule for the free Bundtlet offers. The Republic was the source of these details in its 2026-10-11 article; customers should consult the bakery directly for any updates or confirmations.
