Overview
- The windows of the former Art of Shaving space at Disney Springs now display Gothic artwork associated with Gideon’s, including ravens and a crown-and-sword motif.
- A Notice of Commencement filed in early December lists a new tenant build-out at 1600 E. Buena Vista Dr Suite C-22 with The First Raven LLC as the client and Walt Disney World as the owner.
- The First Raven LLC is owned by Steve Lewis, the founder of Gideon’s Bakehouse, providing an official tie between the project and Gideon’s leadership.
- A door sign at the site says “Something new is coming soon,” while neither Disney nor Gideon’s has announced the concept, opening plan, or operations.
- The storefront sits a few shops away from the existing Gideon’s at The Landing, suggesting an additional or different offering rather than a literal expansion, though the nature of the venture remains unconfirmed.
