Jay Howard Gross, owner of J’s GourAmaze Fine Foods and Baked Goods in Elkins Park, recently announced that his storefront will now function solely as a “prep kitchen and commissary.”

The announcement noted that the store is no longer open to the public as it turns its attention to indoor, off-premises events, catering, and fundraising programs.

From his Facebook post:

The original intended use of my new location in Elkins Park, PA was not meant for walk-in retail. I just had partial retail hours for three months until my other aforementioned things kicked in…which they have!
