BELLINGHAM, WA (MyBellinghamNow.com) – Another downtown Bellingham business is on the hunt for its next owner.

The Temple Bar owner Vincent Lalonde said in a social media post that he is exploring options to sell the business.

Lalonde has owned the W Champion Street bar since 2019, and has also owned both Mount Bakery locations since 2007.

He added that he will continue to own and operate Mount Bakery‘s Fairhaven spot, with no additional details on the future of their downtown location.

As for The Temple Bar, Lalonde said that he wanted to get the word of a future sale out sooner so customers could prepare for final visits with him as the owner.

He anticipates that service will continue through at least late August.
