Autumn and winter traditions will mix at Olde World Canterbury Village in Orion Township now that Yates Cider Mill plans to open a second location there in 1,000 square feet later this year.

Yates will also build a 1,500-square-foot barn on the site similar to one at the Rochester Hills mill’s location at Dequindre and Avon roads, said Keith Aldridge, vice president of Canterbury, located on Joslyn Road north of Waldon Road.

“We’ve been keeping our eyes open for another location,” said Yates owner Mike Titus. “We’ll be opening in the fall, so we’ve got a lot of work to do to get the store ready.”

Titus said apple cider will be made at the Rochester Hills location and transported to Lake Orion. Fudge, ice cream, baked goods and other products will be available for sale, he said.

“Our goal is to give it the same feel that we have at the mill,” Titus said.

Yates will open in the current Sweet Lane Fudge Shop building. Sweet Lane is moving to a new location off-site, Aldridge said.

Yates, which celebrated its 150th year in business last year, will employ about 10 people in Lake Orion and hire more during the fall months, Titus said.

Always Christmas will reopen in space farther north on the 21-acre Canterbury site, Aldridge said.

There were no brokers on the building sale, Aldridge said.

He declined to say how much was paid for the building.

Also at Canterbury, Woodside Bible Church, which has eight campuses in Oakland and Wayne counties, closed on the purchase of the 80,000-square-foot Aldridge’s Always Christmas Inc. store at Canterbury for use as an 800-seat church on Thursday, Aldridge said.
