Owners (Mimi Lordo & Edward Baking LLC) are in a dispute over closing the bakery. Seems like a buyout would solve the issue, but I'm not sure of all the details. This would be a terrible loss. This place is great! 

There is a paywall, but in summary it just mentions the 2 sides are in a dispute. Mimi Lordo wants to close for whatever reason & EBC wants to keep the STL institution open. Hope this works out!
