Gracious Bakery Expands To New Orlean's St. Charles Avenue In Garden District

Parade goers who long picked up po-boys at The Grocery during Carnival season, take heart. Gracious Bakery will soon move into the corner shop at 2854 St. Charles Ave.

The Grocery, which had served po-boys for more than three decades at that site, closed in September. It was reopened in February by Geoffrey Meeker, who founded and owns French Truck Coffee. Meeker decided to close the sandwich shop operation in December.

That's when the owners of Gracious Bakery, Jay and Megan Forman, made the decision to expand into that 1,500-square-foot space.
