The bakery will be located at 478 Central Avenue, where one of the two former cupcake places used to be. Lemonis originally announced Rose's would open in February of this year, but that was before a location had been determined.

Rose’s Bakery and Café will offer fresh baked breads, cookies, cakes, cupcakes and muffins, as well as pizza, soups and sandwiches. The Highland Park location will be open seven days a week with extended hours in the summer.

"Having gone gluten free over a year ago and becoming a patron of Rose's, I know the love and devotion that customers have for Rose's," Lemonis said back in January.

Lemonis will also star in his own reality television series on CNBC, "The Profit," which premieres on Tuesday nights beginning July 30, according to Marketwire.
