Just don't go there expecting to find the same things that you bought at the city location. As I posted on the Openings and Closings thread, Gladstone North will not be continuing the tradition of paczki on Fat Tuesday--among other things. The woman I spoke with at Gladstone North said they had recently redone their entire product line, and the paczki are gone, as are--I believe she said--things like donuts.... She also said they had had no association with the Gladstone in the city for several months, so it sounds like perhaps there were different owners of the two locations.
I will miss their paczki....
