Is this true? I called Great Harvest, but no one answered the phone. If indeed tomorrow is the last day for GH, please stop by, buy some bread or a pastry, and say thanks to the team. They will be missed.
Mt Lebanon and the whole South Hills is about to lose (IMO) one of its most valuable assets - Great Harvest Bakery located directly across from the Lebanon shops. Tomorrow, Friday the 30th of November, 2007 will be the last day this fine bakery will offer its unique-to-this-area mix of whole-wheat and cracked-grain breads, muffins and other delectable delights.

This is from today's Post Gazette
Also, appearing before council was attorney Mark Kozar, representing Mt. Lebanon businessman David R. Carl, owner of Masaca Inc.
Council voted to approve Mr. Kozar's appeal for a transfer of a liquor license into Castle Shannon. Mr. Carl purchased the building located in Castle Shannon at 315 Mt. Lebanon Blvd., in which the Great Harvest Bread Co. currently operates. Mr. Carl said that this restaurant will cease operations this year, and his company will open a new, similar restaurant in early 2008.
The new restaurant, which is not yet named, will serve breakfast foods and soup and sandwiches. It will also sell imported and specialty bottled beer between the hours of 11 a.m. and 11 p.m.
This is true - however - the new owner, Mr. Kozar is planning to keep the menu pretty much the same. He is also adding microbrewery and specially crafted beers to the menu. So we aren't really losing anything - we are gaining.

We're "gaining" only if they still have those cranberry-raisin & chocolate-chocolate chip muffins, not to mention that cinnamon bread!
Any idea what this means for MoJoe? I heard they moved into the same space after closing the Broadmoor location. Haven't been to Great Harvest though to know for sure.
Substituting beer for bread sounds like quite an acceptable deal to me. :)
MoJoe is on the other side of Mt. Lebanon Boulevard -- in part of what used to be the old Eckerd space, now next door to Carbonara's and Asti's and the video store.
We'll see whether the new occupant of the GH space offers equally good baked goods. If so (plus beer!), so much the better, because while I like MoJoe's coffee and ambiance, their pastries aren't GH quality.
