Uh-oh ... no more custard

Jake's in Paoli, which dispensed the real McCoy, has closed after about 10 months.

Last fall, our friend Rick Nichols waxed eloquent about Jake's, a brand new Wisconsin-style frozen-custard shop in Paoli that also sold bratwurst, deep-fried cheese curd, and burgers.

Alas, it's now closed, as first reported last month by the local Patch.

Its website offers thanks for the support.

Missy Shaw, a transplanted pharmaceutical saleswoman, attributed the closing to a dispute with her landlord.

"I didn't close for lack of business," she told me.
