Four years ago, Justin was informed by his gastroenterologist that he had one of the worst cases of Crohnās he had seen. Unfortunately, that still seems to be the case. He has lost significant weight over the past two months, and every day is an extremely difficult battle to keep his body going. The treatment he has been on has failed.
Justin has been working tirelessly to get Spread The Loaves Market & Deli ready for all of you despite not being in remission any longer. However, with very heavy hearts, we are here to announce we are not going to be able to bring that vision to you just yet. It will still happen, but under the same roof as the bakery and in a more manageable way that will allow us to pause if needed.
Despite his body trying to destroy itself, Justinās spirits remain high, and he has an excellent team of doctors working to get him healthy.
When Justin is ready, we will introduce a lunch menu here at the bakery, where you can order sandwiches and enjoy them at our countertop tables or even place catering orders. There is no timeline on this; the most important thing is Justin has the time he needs to heal his body.
We appreciate your support and excitement for the deli and hope you can channel that into the bakery! Sophie and the rest of the team will continue to bake for you day after day. While lunch items will remain paused until Justin finds a new treatment plan for this incurable disease, we will carry the same breads and pastries you have grown to love and are planning to introduce more items as our team can handle them.
Your support is always appreciated, but doubly so right now while we regroup and pivot so we can ensure the businessā longevity.
We love you and appreciate you so much.
