With the way Gideon’s has been received… this extra location is definitely a good call.

I am curious as to what is being planned... an expansion... or a new venture. Considering how high the demand is in Disney Springs I can see some sort of expansion being planned.

Gideons has been a great study of a tiny niche business taking off. Their East End location was/is a great starter location to build a brand and they are a perfect fit for Disney Springs.

We love going there, my gothy kids love the atmosphere and the art. Nevermind of course the cookies and cakes.

They don't need another location in Disney Springs. They should work on opening locations inside the parks.

I think Gideon’s works because of the instagram effect and the hype of the long line. One of the bars I used to work at artificially created a line that would wrap around the corner and people would flock over and stand in it to see what was so good. As a consumer, if Gideon’s did mobile ordering I would get a cookie and a cold brew every time I was at DS, but I don’t like them nearly enough to wait in even a 5 minute line for them. I wonder what a second location or mobile ordering would do to that psychological effect of seeing a line wrapped around the corner though. What is their main location like?

I wonder if it will be for merchandise? The location mentioned was the old "Art of Shaving" location. If they do open another storefront, I think they will sell something other than cookies. My opinion only!

That actually makes sense to me. It seems like they have been moving more into the merch space. I have no doubt they have fans who would buy some stuff with all their cure, macabre little mascots.

Perhaps I imagined this, but I feel like I read recently that there was speculation of them adding a coffee shop. I think that the environment of Gideon's is cute, but I'm not a huge fan of their cookies. I don't like chocolate, and every time I go and stand in the long line for my family, they're out of the 1 non-chocolate cookie. Although their red-velvet cake slice is tasty.

I think Disney has its own charm and style when it comes to cookies and baked goods. Gideons just doesn’t fit inside the parks IMO.
