Khans Investment Group Sues Edgewood Bakery For Control After Investing.

[Rob68]

Has SK hired someone to take over his new bakery?

It doesn't matter who is at fault. The perception is that Khan swooped in, caused all this trouble and now has closed the bakery. Everyone I talk to blames Khan and says the bakery will end up being shuttered for good. This is not helping.

[RattlerGator]

If everybody you're talking to says that, you're in an odd group.

800k investment, and you get treated like this? You make an obvious agreement in an eMail, and then make absurd assertions that contradict the plain meaning of what was clearly written? No serious person respects that.

Shad isn't getting blamed here.

Oddly enough pretty much everyone I know thinks the people running the bakery were tremendous dummies who cratered an already failing bakery, spending a ton of money *somewhere* and then trying a bunch of "david vs goliath" stuff. I honestly don't know anyone that has any sympathy for them, especially when they trotted the letter "written by their son" to the media. That was trashy as hell.

This bakery was awesome.  The apple fritters were top notch, if not the best in Jax.  They would almost always sell out before I could get there between 10am and 1pm.  I asked why they didn't make more fritters so they would have them when I showed up.  The answer was always the same, "It doesn't matter how many we make, we would still sell out."  Then they would look at me like I was stupid for even asking such a thing.  That about sums up the ownership, made great treats but didn't have any business sense.

Sounds like it.

"Stache Investments aims to reopen the Edgewood Bakery as soon as possible, under experienced new management and on a solid financial foundation, following a period of reorganization for the business. We will restore it to the high standards of quality and service that Jacksonville customers have celebrated for generations.

"In the meantime, customers who made agreements with the previous operators for wedding cakes or other bakery goods shouldn't worry. The new Edgewood Bakery will honor and fulfill their orders."

He will probably get Gary to re-open the bakery, run it for Stache and get the mojo going again.

Just because you have a good idea at OneSpark, don't think you can be the next Shad Khan.

Gary junior is back running the bakery. His parents I'm sure were good teachers. It should smooth out. Seems like opening day (today) was a success. Good for them!

Does anyone actually like edgewood bakery? Or, is it just iconic?

The few times I went there I felt like I was getting an overdose of artificial flavorings, "well, the kool aid orange is a nice addition to the turnover."

I really wanted to like it but I came to quiet terms with its mediocrity. Fresh mediocrity. The goods were never stale or old tasting...just...

I didn't get the buzz.

Maybe the pies were decent? I don't remember.

When the Poletta's were running Edgewood Bakery, the baked goods (especially the cakes) were very good. I am glad the son is back running the show.

Cakes were what they were known for (and well deserved). Didn't have much of their other stuff so I don't know.

I ne er understood bakeries that tout their goods yet tbey go in the back and open a mix and call that bakery...not many real cake places actually  mix and make their own recipes. The only place ive found is The cake shop of sanjose..

Edgewood Bakery had won many many national awards with the original owners. Their raspberry white chocolate scone is the best baked good I have ever had.

EDIT: I just checked their facebook. Apparently Gary is baking and running the bakery again. Strange turn of events.

Why would that be a shock? Khan had him running the bakery when the crackpots decided to fire him, Khan is no dummy, he wants someone with working knowledge of the business running the show.
