A developer is seeking approval to build a U-Haul self-storage facility on the site of the former Koffee Kup Bakery in Burlington, Vermont. The bakery closed abruptly in 2021 and the property was later purchased by a company connected to U-Haul in 2022. A public hearing on the proposed development is scheduled for April 7.

The bakery closed unexpectedly in April 2021 and the property was demolished in 2023, leaving the site vacant until the U-Haul-connected company purchased it in 2022.
