The abrupt closing of two Entenmann’s Bakery outlets in Brick and Staten Island over the past month appears to have irked customers and ignited concern if more nearby may follow.

Customers accustomed to getting warm bread and baked goods at outlet prices vented on the company’s Facebook page about the Brick location closing.

"I just got home from there, totally empty, no shelves, no nothing?” one poster said late last month. “Called and got no answer.”

“I can’t believe some ‘GENIUS’ thought it was a good idea to close this location,” another woman wrote last week. “Please rethink your decision and bring it back.”

A request for comment from Bimbo Bakeries USA, the outlet owner, was answered with a statement.

“The decision to close one of our outlet stores is never an easy one and happens for a variety of reasons,” the statement said. “We don’t make these decisions lightly and want to assure our consumers that they can still purchase all of their favorite products at their local grocery stores.”

Entenmann’s Outlet stores remain open in Clementon, Edison and Wayne. There are stores in Brooklyn and Astoria, Queens.

Entenmann’s products include Birthday Cake Ice Cream, Little Bites muffins and Mini Rich Frosted Donuts.

Bimbo’s other product lines include Arnold bread, Ball Park hot dogs, Bays English Muffins, Brownberry bread, Sara Lee desserts and Thomas’ English muffins.
