From today’s local rag:
Irving’s Bakery Cafe is multiplying.
A new location opened at the University Park Airport last Monday

The Geisinger location provides a little cafe spot that will feature more grab-and-go type offerings, such as sandwiches and salads. Espresso and smoothies will also be offered, she said.

I’m not wishing them ill, but I think it’s just bizarre.
