This Feb. 17, 2014 photo shows an outlet store open to the public at Awrey's Bakery in Livonia, Mich. at Awrey's Bakery in Livonia, Mich., on Feb. 17, 2014. It was a year ago that Awrey's Bakery, one of the few remaining iconic Detroit-area brands, avoided permanent closure in a down-to-the-wire purchase deal. The new buyers, Michigan residents Ron Beebe and James McColgan, bought the Livonia bakery from a pair of out-of-state private equity firms just hours before its equipment was to be sold at liquidation auction. The 200-some Awrey's employees were already out the door. In their place were auctioneers. (AP Photo/Detroit Free Press, Jessica J. Trevino) DETROIT NEWS OUT; NO SALES
