"It’s been almost two months since longtime bakery Sweet Lady Jane closed all six locations unceremoniously. On February 26, a Redditor shared a sign posted at the former Encino location hinting at a comeback “soon” and soliciting job seekers to send in resumes and cover letters to apply for open positions including “team leader” and “team associate.” The bakery posted a teaser on its Instagram on February 25 using the hashtag #JaneIsBack. (The response has been lukewarm by the account’s followers thus far.) The legendary Los Angeles bakery closed late last year following 35 years of business, announcing the news in a social media post and on the bakery’s website. “Lease obligations” and the immense cost of operations were cited as the reasons behind the closure. Founder Jane Lockhart opened the original Sweet Lady Jane on Melrose Avenue in 1988 and built a strong following for her Triple Berry Cake." - Mona Holmes
