A new permit suggests Gideon’s Bakehouse will be expanding their operations at Disney Springs.
Gideon’s Bakehouse Permit for Disney Springs
The Notice of Commencement, filed with the Orange County comptroller, is for “New Tenant Build-Out of Lease Space in Disney Springs” at the address 1600 E. Buena Vista Dr Suite C-22. This is the former storefront for The Art of Shaving, which closed permanently in January 2024. The store has sat empty since.
Though the owner listed on the permit is Walt Disney World, the client is The First Raven LLC, owned by Steve Lewis, the founder of Gideon’s Bakehouse.
The former Art of Shaving location is around the corner from Gideon’s Bakehouse, but several businesses separate them, so this wouldn’t be a literal expansion of the current shop. It could be an additional location or a brand-new venture by Lewis and The First Raven.
