UNCASVILLE, CT – Mohegan Sun and A.T.Y Hospitality celebrated the grand opening of Sift Bake Shop and A.T.Y Bar & Bonbons, presented by Grey Goose, with a special ribbon-cutting ceremony. Sift Bake Shop and A.T.Y Bar & Bonbons are family-owned concepts created by Pastry Chef Adam Young and his wife, Ebbie, and both venues are located at the Winter Entrance in Casino of the Earth.
“Anyone who knows Adam knows he’s all about hospitality,” said Jeff Hamilton, President & GM at Mohegan Sun. “He is also an inspirational leader – behind the line, baking and interacting with his team. His character and how he delivers as a leader fit perfectly with our brand. Sift Bake Shop and A.T.Y Bar & Bonbons are the next step in our immersive food and beverage strategy. Over the course of the last few years, we’ve been able to open more world-class dining establishments that have really transformed our property into a food and beverage destination. We are really excited to see the continued success of Sift Bake Shop and A.T.Y Bar & Bonbons, especially at our new location.”
“We are so thrilled to be the newest addition to Mohegan Sun,” said Young. “Sift has grown significantly over the past 10 years and to be able to scale, you really have to be surrounded by people who buy into and understand your vision. In our case, that includes the spirit of hospitality and being committed to the service of others, and that is something that I have found during my time working with Mohegan Sun. We certainly hope we bring a little delight to everyone, and we look forward to welcoming each and every one of our new guests.”
