Bob and Joan Fleckenstein opened Fleckenstein's Bakery on November 11, 1977, the first retail business on this stretch of La Grange Road — it moved a block north in 1983 into a former Texaco gas station, which is still the current location, and expanded to a second, still-open New Lenox bakery in 2018.

The cherry and strawberry fritters are the everyday order, and the custom wedding cakes are the reason this Mokena bakery has stayed busy for generations.
