"Why?" - That's an excellent question.

And it is a question that you should ask to the baker, not to us.

>From what I can see of this story, you asked the baked what to do on Shabbos Hagadol, but you did NOT ask him why he is closing. Maybe he wants time to clean and kasher his home. Maybe he simply wants some vacation time. Maybe a relative is due to give birth around then.

Your post presumes that he is doing it for some misguided pseudo-halachic reason, but who knows?

Or maybe there is something hidden between the lines of this story and I missed it, as I so frequently do. Please show me.
