With our expansion we will now be a caf\u00e9, market and gift shop.<br \/>\n\u201cWe are so excited to introduce our organic food market section. We will have flour, sugar, grains, seeds, beans, peanut butters and jams \u2026 produce, eggs, cheese and milk from local farms,\u201d said Nicole Laubenheimer, Juicin\u2019 Jar business manager.<br \/>\nThe gift shop will carry kitchenware, aprons and yoga items, as well.<br \/>\nLaubenheimer said the caf\u00e9 also is expanding its baked good offerings.<br \/>\n\u201cWe\u2019ve hired a part-time pastry chef to bake doughnuts, pies, cakes, gluten free options and special holiday pastries,\u201d she said.<br \/>\nSusan Duncan was recently hired as a part-time clerk. She was previously a buyer for the Glens Falls Food Co-Op for four years.<br \/>\nWhen COVID-19 struck in March, Hanchett said she closed the Juicin\u2019 Jar doors to have time to digest the state requirements and guidelines. Once she and her staff were comfortable, she created a \u201cto go\u201d option, with fare wrapped in food containers.<br \/>\nHanchett operated the caf\u00e9 with limited hours and revised the menu.<br \/>\nThe business was afforded some relief through the Payroll Protection Program (PPP).<br \/>\n\u201cEveryone was unsure at the start, but we figured it out,\u201d Hanchett said. \u201cWe still have to live life and function as a business.\u201d<br \/>\nLaubenheimer indicated that renovations to the additional 1,500 square feet have been ongoing for several weeks. The kitchen and seating capacity have been expanded and a window bar is being installed. The walls will continue to showcase local artist\u2019s work.<br \/>\nThe caf\u00e9 has partnered with Door Dash to provide customers a delivery option, and this autumn it will continue to offer outdoor seating as long as the weather permits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Lisa Balschunat Six years ago, Cristina Hanchett took a chance on a small South Street storefront to open her business, the Juicin\u2019 Jar.
