Vinson opened the bakery,Sweetopia LLC on Jan. 24,2014 at 221 E. Clay St. Richmond,VA 23219 in the historic Jackson Ward area. In July,she signed a two-year lease for the 1,500-square-foot space. Vinson, 50, said it took $20,000 of her personal savings to start the business. She got some help from an online campaign,on the site Kickstarter.com that raised $2,300. She sells coffee, pastries, cakes, breads and will also include vegan and gluten free goods. “A lot depends on what the demand is,” Vinson said. “From what I hear, there is a bigger demand for gluten free.”
